I installed PROXMOX "5.15.74-1-pve" on my NUC10I5FNK and the first thing I noticed is that the temperatures were much higher than with the latest Ubuntu Kernel. I looked at the process and indeed removing the PD module does fix it. Then I found this solution, it would have saved me almost an hour of research. Thank you very much for posting it.
