Hi,

Our kmod packages are kABI tracking, meaning they do not require rebuilding for each and every kernel release. They should just work across kernel updates.

However, there is a known bug in the dracut package in RHEL8 which breaks things. RH are working on a fix, but it has not been publicly released yet. We have backported the fix and rebuilt a version of dracut which fixes the issue. I would recommend you update to our patched version of dracut until RH are able to release their fixed version.

You can download the patched version of dracut here:

http://elrepo.org/people/akemi/testing/el8/dracut/

Once you have updated dracut, if you then uninstall/reinstall the latest kernel, megaraid_sas should then work when you reboot to the new kernel. It is important you (re)install the new kernel *after* you have updated dracut, not before.

Working now.

But i had to remove the default megaraid_sas

/usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.ko.xz

for the elrepo megaraid_sas module to work.

thanks.

Not sure why you would need to remove the distro driver, as an override should be in place (see /etc/depmod.d/kmod-megaraid_sas.conf).

Anyway, glad to hear you have it working.

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'megaraid_sas': Invalid argument

Hi,

We are in the process of rebuilding all packages for the RHEL8.1 release.

In the meantime, rebooting to the last 8.0 series kernel should allow the module to work if it is critical to you.
