I’m running 2 PVE nodes with Linstor 1.32 and updated to kernel 6.17 and drbd 9.2.16 on one node (Heisenberg) that’s also running the linstor-controller. After reboot the node has no resource definitions:
root@Heisenberg:/var/log/linstor-satellite# linstor v l

lsmod shows the kernel module is loaded:
lsmod | grep drbd
drbd 471040 0

with kernel Linux Heisenberg 6.17.2-1-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.17.2-1 (2025-10-21T11:55Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Before update all workload has been migrated to the other node which is still running kernel 6.14 and drbd 9.2.15.
