It was found that kernel-lt version 6.1.159-1.el8.elrepo failed to boot. This kernel set has just been withdrawn and we sent out an announcement.

We decided to go ahead and release the 5.15 series of the kernel instead of 6.1 as an interim solution. Thus the kernel-lt-5.15.199-1.el8.elrepo package set has been published.

We will continue to make an effort to build the 6.1 kernel for el8 that is bootable.
