Opt-in Linux 6.8 Kernel for Proxmox VE 8 available on test & no-subscription

[spronger]

Any thoughts on https://9to5linux.com/linux-kernel-6-8-reaches-end-of-life-users-should-upgrade-to-linux-kernel-6-9?

Not sure to use that , both servers are installed from the Proxmox.iso

So how is that a problem? Ubuntu is on 6.8 - so is Proxmox. Debian is on 6.1 LTS

Better still the widely used Linux Mint 21.3 (current) uses the 5.15 LTS kernel

I think a lot of routers with OpenWRT are also on a 5.x

Are there known issues with Mellanox "mlx4_core" driver and kernel 6.8?
I am using 6.8 on other systems without issues so far.
However, on recently put-together system with a Mellanox MCX353A, which is handled by the "mlx4" driver, I am seeing intermittened issues.
I don't have the details right now, as I had no time to really investigate.
Just wanted to ask, if something is already known in general.
System is a Broadwell Xeon E5 v4, with SR-IOV enabled.
