You seem to be on Proxmox 7.2 not the latest 7.3, maybe update your base install first then try for the new kernel.


try a apt update && apt full-upgrade first before
apt install pve-kernel-6.1
.

As stated above you need change your /etc/apt/sources.list file. yoi can do that from the CLI as linked above or since pve 7 you can also disable the enterprise repository and add the non-enterprise repository from the web-gui. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories#_repositories_in_proxmox_ve

gui-node-repositories.png
 
In your screenshot:
  1. the last line stands for the enterprise repository. Get a license, or simply remove that line. This line triggers the "401 Unauthorized" message.
  2. then click the "Add" button and select the "no-subscription" entry in the drop-down list

Problem solved ;-)

I run a Threadripper with 2GPU in passthrough and a root ZFS install.
I mounted /tmp on ram as indicated and I have no issues.
Both passthrough are working fine.
Thanks for releasing 6.1 this early!

First, best wishes to all.

When using pve kernel 6.1 with multi monitor setup (so probably for gpu passthrough) using amdgpu driver you could run into issues.
I'm using it with daisy chained dp monitors (MST) and got a stack trace.
First noticed that in a VM running opensuse tumbleweed running kernel 6.1.x using gpu pass through. This vm become unresponsive.
Now tested with pve kernel 6.1. and got a stack trace on the pve host as soon as I used MST. Single monitor use is stable.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2171
Above bug report seems to track this issue, with also several other linked bug reports.
 
Thanks for bringing that issue to attention again and the separate thread. Seems that 6.1 kernel needs some polishing on amdgpu side :(
For this moment I will probably stay on 5.19 (as long as it will be available), or current default pve kernel on the host. And will see how a vm with gpu passthrough and guest kernel 6.1 and coming updates will behave.
Otherwise I didn't have other issues with 6.1 (apart from tmp on tmpfs for / on zfs for now).
 
Hmmm... any plans to make a backported OpenVSwitch 3.x available for this kernel?
I'm tracking/seeing strange troubles with 6.1 (like the packets not send up to the IntPort for the VLAN tagged to the IntPort, but the packets do arrive in the bridge) and wonders about kernel interactions

How can I remove this 6.1 kernel?

Code: 
apt remove pve-kernel-6.1
apt purge pve-kernel-6.1

after my removal it stills boot with 6.1?

Code: 
root@pve:~# uname -a
Linux pve 6.1.0-1-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PVE 6.1.0-1 (Tue, 13 Dec 2022 15:08:53 +0 x86_64 GNU/Linux

You need to update your grub.

List your avaiulable kernel with
proxmox-boot-tool kernel list

then update
proxmox-boot-tool kernel pin <kernel-version>

Also for futher info
proxmox-boot-tool help

Reboot then remove the the kernel again

Seamless upgrade here from 5.19.17-1
System: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x, 6900xt + 3070 PCIE passthrough to VM(s). ZFS Raid, LXC containers, everything "just worked".

Swear i'm seeing the CPU idling at lower speeds than before but maybe mis-remembering.
Still set to ondemand governor but seeing noticeable lower idle temps. Maybe a cool change rolled in.
Regardless!

Clean upgrade. Nice one team!
Will tool around see if i can break anything and report back

Debian pushed an update to OVS yesterday. openvswitch-switch: 2.15.0+ds1-2+deb11u2 Seems to have fixed the network problems I had with the 6.1 kernel. Obviously not much testing but it was unusable before. Didn't see a change log for it.
Your mileage may very.

Sadly on my Topton SFF PC with Intel N6005 VMs wont boot on 6.1 kernel (same problems on unofficial 6.0-edge kernels). On 5.19 no problem. VMs are not able to boot from local-lvm storage (nvme-ssd). Its possible to create new VM run installation until vhdd partitioning, but then it fails.

i get error like this: Could not read L1 table: Invalid argument TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1
