Description serenity645-joe1@yahoo.ca 2022-02-08 15:34:08 UTC 
Yesterday I ran dnf update. Centos was upgraded from 4.18.0-147.5.1.el8_1.x86_64
Reboot failed to restart multiple times.

From  journalctl : 

Feb 07 13:12:55 locutus kernel: Linux version 4.18.0-358.el8.x86_64 (mockbuild.centos.org) (gcc version 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-7) (GCC)) #1 SMP Mon Jan 10 13:11:20 UTC 2022

Feb 07 13:13:04 locutus systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.

Workaround (from centos.org forum) : 

I created /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ipmi.conf with:
blacklist ipmi_si
blacklist ipmi_devintf
blacklist ipmi_msghandler
blacklist ipmi_ssif
blacklist ipmi_watchdog
blacklist ipmi_poweroff
blacklist acpi_ipmi
blacklist ibmaem
blacklist ibmpex

looks like an issue with fwupd?

[root@cosa-devsh ~]# grep -r ipmi /usr/lib/modules-load.d/
/usr/lib/modules-load.d/fwupd-redfish.conf:ipmi-si
/usr/lib/modules-load.d/fwupd-redfish.conf:ipmi-devintf
[root@cosa-devsh ~]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/modules-load.d/fwupd-redfish.conf
fwupd-1.7.1-1.el8.x86_64
[root@cosa-devsh ~]#
