Confuseing update ?

[rmf01]

Hey everyone!

So I'm currently running on Kernel version: Linux 6.14.0-2-pve (2025-04-10T17:57Z)
and I've just checked the current updates, and there were 2, that I'm not 100% sure about in them..:
"proxmox-kernel-6.8"
and
"proxmox-kernel-6.8.12-10-pve-signed"...
Sooo uhm, will these revert me back to kernel 6.8 from kernel 6.14??
if so, how could I not get these updates ?

Hi rmf01,

The default proxmox-kernel-6.8 is continuously being patched and updated, so you'll be getting updates for it. This does not mean that your opt-in 6.14-installation will be downgraded if you apply the update for 6.8. It'll just make sure that you have the newest 6.8.x available in case you decide to use that series at another time.

You can check for all kernels available on your system by running:

pveversion --verbose | grep proxmox-kernel

The last update for 6.14 arrived at April 10th, while 6.8 received an update on Apr 18th -- that's the one you are seeing.

You can always use proxmox-boot-tool [0] to quickly view and pin the newest three kernels you have available on your system.

I hope this helps!
