Description Andy Walsh 2021-03-15 22:16:23 UTC

Description of problem:
The latest available build for RHEL-8.5.0 of kmod-kvdo depends on kernel-4.18.0-228.el8, but that is not available in the 8.5.0 environment.  Additionally, this Bug will be used for any kABI compatibility issues that arise through the 8.5.0 release.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kmod-kvdo-6.2.3.114-74.el8
kernel-4.18.0-297.1.el8

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install rhel-8.5.0
2. Try to install kmod-kvdo

Actual results:


Expected results:
uds and kvdo modules load via modprobe.

Additional info:
This is the 8.5 version of 1894978.

Apologies.  I forgot to include the updated "Actual Results".

Exiting with failure due to module/kernel incompatibility

Comment 6 Andy Walsh 2021-06-21 13:51:54 UTC

kmod-kvdo-6.2.5.41-78.el8 has been found to be kABI incompatible with kernel-4.18.0-315.el8 on aarch64 architecture.  A rebuild will be handled soon.

This is the failure output:

Comment 11 Andy Walsh 2021-08-25 16:48:15 UTC

Setting to MODIFIED, since final VERIFICATION doesn't necessarily apply yet.

Comment 21 Andy Walsh 2021-10-07 13:03:42 UTC

This BZ is all set.  Most recent build kmod-kvdo-6.2.5.72-81.el8 works with the most recent kernel-4.18.0-348.el8.

Comment 24 Filip Suba 2021-10-08 07:54:29 UTC

Verified with kmod-kvdo-6.2.5.72-81.el8.
