- AUTOINSTALL not set in its dkms.conf Module ignored we don't ship dkms .... is this a dell preload distro by chance ?
It is not a Dell preload distro. Although I did use Dell's OpenManage software to help start the install but I used RHEL images downloaded from Red Hat's website.
We don't support modified kernels, which DKMS can interfere with.
