Looking at our master configuration files we see -- [kernels]$ grep -rw 'CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD' * | sort | grep -E '5\.4\.228|6\.1\.4|6\.2\.0' el7/config-5.4/config-5.4.228-x86_64:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m el7/config-6.1/config-6.1.4-x86_64:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m el7/config-6.2/config-6.2.0-x86_64-rc1:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m el7/config-6.2/config-6.2.0-x86_64-rc2:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m el8/config-5.4/config-5.4.228-x86_64:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m el8/config-6.1/config-6.1.4-x86_64:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m el8/config-6.2/config-6.2.0-x86_64-rc1:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m el8/config-6.2/config-6.2.0-x86_64-rc2:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m el9/config-6.1/config-6.1.4-x86_64:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD is not set el9/config-6.2/config-6.2.0-x86_64-rc1:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD is not set el9/config-6.2/config-6.2.0-x86_64-rc2:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD is not set [kernels]$ I have, therefore, queued addition of the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m option for the next build of the x86_64 version of the kernel-ml package set for el9. |

With today's release [1] of an updated kernel-ml package set for el9 (x86_64), that has the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m option, this request has been fulfilled. Now closing as "resolved/fixed". [1] https://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2023-January/006330.html |
