Proxmox kernel update - Nvidia drivers (GTX 960) fail

[oldfart]

updating proxmox kernel update from 6.14.11 to 6.17.2-2-pve
apt was installing the 6.17 kernel and DKMS was compiling the Nvidia driver module and it failed

driver = NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.163.01

root@proxmox:~# proxmox-boot-tool kernel list
Manually selected kernels:
None.

Automatically selected kernels:
6.14.11-4-pve
6.17.2-2-pve

root@proxmox:~# uname -r
6.14.11-4-pve

what do I do now? (yes have looked at reddit & posts, no real answer - apart from stick to kernel 6.14 and wait)

Nvidia provides a apt repository too. Just today infact they released binaries for debian 13. I resorted to using the run file because the debian repos' driver doesn't work any more and nvidia is too slow to update their own Apt Repo. Here's the Steps I do: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/3...e3#install-nvidia-driversmodules-via-run-file

Thanks for the replies.
1. Install latest driver, then try and update kernel
or
2. remove old driver, Install latest driver, then try and update kernel
p.s. how do I upgrade the kernel when apt update is none
