pve-headers for 5.1

[dandeluxe123]

Hi All.

Can someone point me in the right direction. I need to install an adpater kernel module for a 10GE NIC. I tried the "apt-get install pve-headers" on a fresh 5.1 install, but no package is found.

Do I need to add another repo? Its a clean install on a new server.

Thanks

Which repository do have configured? pve-headers, would be the right package.

Just
deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-enterprise

And you have a valid subscription? If not, you need to use the pve-no-subscription repository instead. See

... and you need to run apt update first:

> apt update
> apt install pve-headers

Thanks.

I got the headers installed. I tried to 'Make Install' the module, but I get

make install
common.mk:102: *** Kernel header files not in any of the expected locations.
common.mk:103: *** Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g.
common.mk:104: *** kernel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again. Stop.

Do I need to install anything else or just add a path somewhere?

Thanks you for your help so far.

Which card/driver package do you want to install exactly?

 

[dandeluxe123]

Al later version (5.3.6) Intel 10GE driver for the Intel 520

ixgbe-5.3.6

I've had problems on other Linux flavours with the cards before using this version.

What is not not working with the default driver?

Maybe you try our upcoming 4.15 kernel (with another ixgbe driver)
