[BUG] pcn-k8s doesn't start polycube pods, pointing kernel headers problem

[camilla-m]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to initialize pcn-k8s according to this tutorial in Vagrant, tried also Minikube and an EKS cluster. All of them returned to me similar errors like that:

Inside the polycube pods there's a CrashLoopBack error because one of the pods is not working due kernel issues.

To Reproduce

1. Up a Kubernetes cluster.
2. kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/polycube-network/polycube/master/src/components/k8s/pcn-k8s.yaml inside cluster.
3. kubectl get pods -n kube-system -o wide | grep polycube to check polycube pods.

Expected behavior

Wanted to follow this tutorial and keep doing commands like kubectl exec -it polycube-xxxxx -n kube-system -c polycube-k8s polycubectl show cubesv

Hi @camilla-m. I think the problem is due to the kernel version used by your nodes. You could try to downgrade to a lower kernel version: 5.4.0-91-generic should work.
