I've done the routine check for updates today and saw there were a bunch of updates, so went ahead and installed. I seem to get continuous errors around upgrading the kernel:

Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be upgraded:

Your System is up-to-date


starting shell
root@pve:/#

But when I check which kernel version is running I get:
Code:
pve-manager/8.1.10/4b06efb5db453f29 (running kernel: 6.5.13-3-pve)

Is there anything I should be doing to fix this?
 
Seems like you have a custom kernel module (sriov drivers for i915), it seems like that one isn't compatible with 6.5.13, which is why upgrading the kernel fails. Either get a new version of that module that is compatible with 6.5.13, remove the custom module, or stick with the current kernel until a compatible version has been release by the vendor.

D'oh! A previous attempt to get Intel 13th Gen iGPUs passed through to VMs. Now removed and now working. Thanks for the superquick response
 
hello, I have the exact same error due to the same reason. Could you guide me on what command I need to remove the dkms stuff with the custom module ? I did some try before to passthrough stuff with a 13th gen Intel as well.
 
Hey! I think this was the command I ran:

dkms uninstall -m i915-sriov-dkms/6.5.13-1 --all

(I take it you never got the virtualised GPU thing to work either?)
 
Thanks for the answer. No, it never really worked... i am now using an lxc which somehow is easier for a igpu "passthrough".
I just ran a command after googling in the meantime:
dkms remove i915-sriov-dkms/6.5.13-1 --all

Do you think it has the same effect ?
