[SOLVED] pve 7.1-8 lxc: ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.

[supernova1963]

Hi, everyone,
what can I do if the following error occurs:

root@pve:~# cat /var/lib/dkms/pivccu/1.0.70/build/make.log
DKMS make.log for pivccu-1.0.70 for kernel 5.13.19-2-pve (x86_64)
Sun 26 Dec 2021 10:21:50 AM CET
make -C /lib/modules/5.13.19-2-pve/build M=/var/lib/dkms/pivccu/1.0.70/build modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.13.19-2-pve'

  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.

make[1]: *** [Makefile:753: include/config/auto.conf] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.13.19-2-pve'
make: *** [Makefile:30: all] Error 2

It seems that the Proxmox Kernel Headers are packaged defective?!

Thanks,

Gernot

Was this part of an update that included a newer kernel version?
Or did you update the kernel without rebooting before trying to build that module?

Its was a reinstallation:

What's the output of pveversion -v?
The latest pve-headers package is installed?

I found the following: https://github.com/alexreinert/debmatic/issues/263
Does it work after running the command specified in that issue? apt reinstall pve-headers-$(uname -r)

 

[supernova1963]

apt reinstall pve-headers-uname -r pve-headers

That works!

thank you, Mira,

Gernot

Great that it worked.
