GPFS supports the requirement for Ubuntu 24 with a higher kernel version of 6.14.0.

Ubuntu 24 has released a higher kernel version, 6.14.0, in the community. For certain reasons, such as supporting AI workloads with specific GPUs, some GPU clients may have kernel versions significantly higher than those supported by the GPFS operating system distribution. This can result in GPFS being unusable after production deployment, leading to situations where customers cannot use GPFS after purchase or lose interest in continuing to use it. Based on this, there is a need for GPFS to support higher kernel versions,in this case,kernel version is 6.14.0.27
