I'm using Proxmox VE on Debian 6. The machine (a Hetzner dedicated server) has a Realtek r8168 NIC, the standard r8169 driver gives me all kinds of strange errors. Thus, I've added the sources from Realtek to be compiled using DKMS. This works flawlessly using kernel 2.6.32-17-pve, but I can't get it to work using kernel 2.6.32-19-pve. (Haven't tried -18 though)
Unfortunately, when the box starts and no NIC driver is present, it's not available from the network, which makes it pretty hard for me to trace dmsg or else while the load fails. I've checked a lot of stuff:
However, when I start the machine using kernel 2.6.32-19-pve the r8168 module does not load, rendering the machine unavailable. I'm lost at why this happens. Can anybody help?

- Matching pve-kernel headers are present
- The dkms.conf file looks like this.
- I've run a number of checks to make sure the module is actually available.
