We recently uploaded a 6.1 kernel into our repositories. The 5.15 kernel will stay the default on the Proxmox VE 7.x series, 6.1 is an option that replaces the previous 5.19 based opt-in kernel.
The 6.1 based kernel may be useful for some (especially newer) setups, for example if there is improved hardware support that has not yet been backported to 5.15.
How to install:

How to install:
apt update
apt install pve-kernel-6.1
- reboot
Please note:
Systems using PBS to backup their VMs and booting from ZFS (i.e., having the /tmp directory backed by ZFS) should avoid the initialFixed with newer version.pve-kernel-6.1.0-1-pve
package due to a missing compat w.r.t. to tmp-files. Note that the issue is non-descructive, iow. all backups that actually finished, made when booted the initial 6.1 kernel, are OK and can be restored if booting an older, e.g., 5.19 or 5.15 kernel.- It's not required to enable the
pvetest
repository, the opt-in kernel package is available also on the no-subscription repository.
But, as a newer pve-firmware package is required to fully use the new opt-in kernel we didn't yet upload it to the enterprise repository; that will be done in the following days. - While we are trying to provide a stable experience with the opt-in 6.1 kernel, updates may appear less frequently than for the default 5.15 based kernel.
- If unsure, we recommend continuing to use the 5.15 based kernel.
