02/20/2026, 12:09 AMEven SL Micro 6.2 is actually SLES 16.0 under the hood. IIRC what @prehistoric-morning-49258 really wants is the updated kernel + thus newer drivers, whether that's delivered via SL Micro or SLES doesn't/shouldn't really matter 🙂

02/20/2026, 12:12 AM• The NVIDIA drivers that worked on SL Micro 6.1 (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.148.06...) don't build on the kernel that comes with SL Micro 6.2, because that kernel marks some symbol as GPL-only, which breaks the build
• The newer NVIDIA drivers do build, but operate differently and require a bunch of changes to the harvester GUI and libvirt (see https://github.com/harvester/harvester/issues/10026) and we can't get all that fixed in time for the Harvester v1.8.0 release

02/24/2026, 3:41 PMyeah it's mostly I was able to use SLES 15.x ZFS packages as-is in Harvester < 1.7, but w/ 6.1 there was no analagous distro. I had Claude create a package builder tool - it actually had an amusingly difficult time just like setting up build env toolchains/kernel headers and such to match - but it's fine now. I realize Harvester is "immutable" but docs for how to make system modifications would be nice to have
