Raise the DKMS compat ceiling from 6.17 to 7.0 so the 6.9.5 source tree builds on Noble HWE without changing PACKAGE_VERSION.
ptp-test can hang forever on `podman exec switch1` because daemonless Kind execs deadlock on libpod SQLite. Retry uses a fresh runner with the same workflow, so it wedges on the same line. Mirror ptp-operator netdevsim-ci: serialize podman through one API server, drop image tarball and caches before e2e, and drop page cache.
linux-modules-extra exists on ubuntu-22.04 Azure runners and apt can sit forever on the 71MB download. Split it into a 3-minute optional step and cap apt Acquire timeouts so dkms-test cannot block ptp-images.
The 3-minute extra-modules step timeout only killed the shell; sudo apt-get kept the dpkg lock, so later jobs hung on podman install or failed with openvswitch-switch status un. Extra-modules is unused by the out-of-tree DKMS build. Wrap remaining apt in sudo timeout and Acquire timeouts so a dead mirror cannot freeze the runner.
Dropping linux-modules-extra left gnss.ko missing on Azure kernels, so modprobe netdevsim failed with unknown symbol and smoke tests died. Install extra-modules again under sudo timeout, and fail the load step if netdevsim does not actually insert.
Apt's own Retries never fire on a hung Get:. Kill apt-get after 120s, recover dpkg, retry up to three times, force IPv4, disable pipelining, and switch azure.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com on retry.
