[lustre-discuss] Installing 2.15 on rhel 8.5 fails

[Thomas Roth]

Hi all,

my rhel8 system is actually an Alma Linux 8.5 installation, this is the first time the compatiblity to 
an alleged rhel8.5 software fails...


The system is running kernel '4.18.0-348.2.1.el8_5'
This version string can also be found in the package names in
https://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.15.0/el8.5.2111/server/RPMS/x86_64
- this is usually a good sign.

However, installation of kmod-lustre-2.15.0-1.el8 yields the well known "depmod: WARNINGs", like
 > /lib/modules/4.18.0-348.2.1.el8_lustre.x86_64/extra/lustre/net/ko2iblnd.ko needs unknown symbol 
__ib_alloc_pd


The kernel from downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.15.0/el8.5.2111/server/RPMS/x86_64 
identifies itself as "CentOS" and does not want to boot - no option either.


Any hints how to proceed?

Regards,
Thomas
