Hello,

Given that ubuntu upstream is in process of phasing this kernel out, and we're already now spending considerable amount of engineering time to handled backporting (security) fixes on top of upstreams work, we decided to go through with the previously announced plan to end support for the 6.17-based kernel series at the end of July.

At the time of writing, still-supported kernel release series:
  • Kernel 6.8 for Proxmox VE 8 and other Debian Bookworm-based Proxmox project releases until end of August, after which those releases will be out of support too.
  • Kernel 7.0, the current default kernel for Proxmox VE 9 and all other Debian Trixie-based Proxmox project releases.
