I have issues with ASM1166 in my mobo, seems like 5.15 kernel works badly with because I can see the expansion card but not drives connected to. I need to install at least 5.16 version to check if it might fix the driver problem.

I've tried to install 6.1.6-2-pve and 5.19.17-2-pve and then I've pinned each of them, the version hasn't changed. I've even tried to override in /etc/default/grub and nothing changed

Now I have
Code:
root@prox:~# roxmox-boot-tool kernel list
Manually selected kernels:
5.19.17-2-pve

Automatically selected kernels:
5.15.102-1-pve

Pinned kernel:
5.19.17-2-pve

root@prox:~# uname -a
Linux prox 5.15.102-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.15.102-1 (2023-03-14T13:48Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've tried to:
Code:
proxmox-boot-tool reinit
proxmox-boot-tool refresh

And still the same

Hi,
did you reboot? It should select the pinned kernel then. Are you able to select the newer kernel manually during boot?
 
Yes, and the only things that I could choose is loading virtual environment or special software that leads to BIOS

Hmm, you should be able to select which kernel you want to boot for Proxmox virtual environment. What is the output of proxmox-boot-tool status?

I've tried to:
Code:
proxmox-boot-tool reinit
proxmox-boot-tool refresh
What is the output here?
