I'm having an issue with the kernel getting it to update.
PVE was 9.0.x and going to 9.1.x, I had an error when it got to the kernel update (through the GUI, but am on 9.1.6 now and 6.14 works but not 6.17)
I had to reboot and select the old kernel to get back in 6.14.11-5-pve
I believe this dist-upgrade is failing on the mellanox3 card driver- what do i need to do to update to the current kernel
this is what i have right now...
Thanks for looking
