Opt-in Linux 6.17 Kernel for Proxmox VE 9 available on test & no-subscription

[Gilberto Ferreira]

with subscriptions now

I don't think so. At least I have installed this kernel 6.17 in a bunch o PVE 9 using no-sub repo.

Well somehow my licensed PVE enterprise servers are able to do this with the latest PVE9
apt install proxmox-kernel-6.17

Perhaps I've goofed up a repo somewhere.

We recently uploaded the 6.17 kernel to our repositories. The current default kernel for the Proxmox VE 9 series is still 6.14, but 6.17 is now an option.

We plan to use the 6.17 kernel as the new default for the Proxmox VE 9.1 release later in Q4.
This follows our tradition of upgrading the Proxmox VE kernel to match the current Ubuntu version until we reach an Ubuntu LTS release, at which point we will only provide newer kernels as an opt-in option. The 6.17 kernel is based on the Ubuntu 25.10 Questing release.

We have run this kernel on some of our test setups over the last few days...

And I posted that I can do it without that step. Here's proof.

In case anyone is anxious, I have a ticket open with PVE Support and they independently told me that 6.17 is available in PVE9 with subscriptions now earlier today.
