Attempt to blacklist r8169
Let’s try to replace the driver:
root@pmox3:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/pve-blacklist.conf
# This file contains a list of modules which are not supported by Proxmox VE
# nidiafb see bugreport https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701
blacklist nvidiafb
# force use of alternative driver
blacklist r8169
Do not forget:
root@pmox3:~# update-initramfs -u
