Building ixgbe on Linux 5.7.8 about pve-edge-kernel HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi,

Where did you get the sources for ixgbe 5.8.1? I am trying to reproduce the issue, but I can currently only find up to version 5.7.1.

from pve-edge-kernel.

Also, could you check the output of the following commands for me:

uname -r

and

ls /lib/modules/

from pve-edge-kernel.

Hi,

Here is the sourceforge link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/ixgbe%20stable/5.8.1/

root@host:~# uname -r 5.7.8-1-zen2

root@host:~# ls /lib/modules/ 5.3.10-1-pve 5.3.18-2-pve 5.4.24-1-pve 5.4.34-1-pve 5.4.44-1-pve 5.5.19-1 5.6.8-1 5.7.2-1 5.7.8-1 5.3.13-3-pve 5.3.18-3-pve 5.4.27-1-pve 5.4.41-1-pve 5.4.44-2-pve 5.5.19-1-zen2 5.6.8-1-zen2 5.7.2-1-zen2 5.7.8-1-zen2 root@host:~#

I do recall encountering this same issue with kernel 5.7.2 & ixgbe 5.7.1

from pve-edge-kernel.

Okay, I think I have found the issue. You have installed the 5.7.8-1-zen2 kernel, but since I have only provided the headers for 5.7.8-1, ixgbe rightfully complains that it cannot find the headers for 5.7.8-1-zen2. A workaround right now would be to just install the generic 5.7.8-1 kernel.

I think I should not be adding the micro-architecture to the kernel version so that all kernels variants can share the same header package.

Ok that makes sense - are there performance improvements to be gained from the zen2 version? I'll revert to the generic version in any case, thanks for finding the issue.

I haven't measured it, but to be honest (and from what I have read) I don't really think it matters that much for the Linux kernel. I just wanted to test this functionality :P

I guess i was just too tempted by an edge kernel tailored to my microarchitecture :)
5.7.8-1 installed & its all working as expected, thanks again!

This should be fixed now.
