Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat.

d /var/run/rhsm 0755 root root -
in
# cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/subscription-manager.conf
d /run/rhsm 0755 root root -
