We are trying to install portworx Essentials on kubernetes running on azure VM’s(not aks) using the Operator. We installed the operator just fine and now are trying to deploy a StorageCluster. Below is the manifest:

```auto
# SOURCE: https://install.portworx.com/?operator=true&mc=false&kbver=1.28.14&oem=esse&user=xxx=true&iop=6&f=true&c=px-cluster-bc4bfc5e-ef8c-4295-a8a0-e4383b25aa30&stork=true&csi=true&tel=true&st=k8s
kind: StorageCluster
apiVersion: core.libopenstorage.org/v1
metadata:
  name: px-cluster-bc4bfc5e-ef8c-4295-a8a0-e4383b25aa30
  namespace: kube-system
  annotations:
    portworx.io/install-source: "https://install.portworx.com/?operator=true&mc=false&kbver=1.28.14&oem=esse&user=2ba18f35-6c91-436c-b9e3-7cefc95bbd2d&b=true&iop=6&f=true&c=px-cluster-bc4bfc5e-ef8c-4295-a8a0-e4383b25aa30&stork=true&csi=true&tel=true&st=k8s"
    portworx.io/misc-args: "--oem esse"
spec:
  image: portworx/oci-monitor:3.1.5
  imagePullPolicy: Always
  kvdb:
    internal: true
  storage:
    useAllWithPartitions: true
    forceUseDisks: true
  secretsProvider: k8s
  stork:
    enabled: true
    args:
      webhook-controller: "true"
  autopilot:
    enabled: true
  runtimeOptions:
    default-io-profile: "6"
  csi:
    enabled: true
  monitoring:
    telemetry:
      enabled: true

```

The pods don’t come up and I ran pxctl it said it failed to load PX filesystem dependencies for kernel 6.8.0-1014-azure.

We are running on kubernetes1.28.14:

```auto
Client Version: v1.28.14
Kustomize Version: v5.0.4-0.20230601165947-6ce0bf390ce3
Server Version: v1.28.14

```

Any ideas where to look?
