Your controller might be supported by one of the ELRepo's kmod packages.
This can be checked if you provide the device ID pairing [:] as

If you need wireguard, then you can use the kmod-wireguard package for
CentOS Stream maintained by the CentOS kmods SIG.

You may want to go to git.centos.org. For example you can find the

Amy,

Wiki username, by convention, is FirstnameLastname. In the wiki, CamelCase
words are treated as hyperlinks. So for example, AmyMarrich, wherever it
appears in the text, will be linked to wiki.centos.org/AmyMarrich
automatically.

However, I'm not here to force people to stick to the naming convention. If
you understand the potential consequences of not using the recommended
naming, I'd be happy to use any name of your choice.

To install the kernel-plus:

# yum --enablerepo=centosplus install kernel-plus

Boot into the just installed kernel-plus and check to see if jfs is
working as expected. If all is fine, change the default kernel to
kernel-plus:

# yum-config-manager --setopt=centosplus.includepkgs=kernel-plus
--enablerepo=centosplus --save
# sed -e 's/^DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel$/DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-plus/' -i
/etc/sysconfig/kernel

I would not say there is any downside, but I'm highly biased. ;)

My suggestion is to use the centosplus kernel (kernel-plus) instead.
jfs is enabled in this kernel.

You may want to look into git.centos.org. For example, spec file diff
for the latest C7 kernel update can be seen here:

As stated in "step 1. Build preparations", users are supposed to
follow the instructions in "Section 2 of I Need the Kernel Source".
Running "rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec" is included in there.

Hi Lucio,

This is the correct mailing list. If you'd like to be able to edit
wiki pages yourself, please make such a request. You might not get
global edit right instantly, so you may want to start with some

The e1000 driver should be in the 8.1 kernel:

$ modinfo e1000

As you found out, there is no support for IrDA in CentOS-7 or -8. The
only CentOS kernel I see with the support for device [9710:7780] is
the centosplus kernel for CentOS-6. This means that you'd need to
install CentOS-6 and then update it with the kernel in the centosplus
repository.

Device ID pair [8086:2723] is not in the current CentOS kernel
4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0. However, it is found in the CentOS Stream kernel
4.18.0-144.el8. So, you may want to give it a try.

And if that is indeed your device, that was bad news. But you have
good news too.

Device [8086:1d6b] is supported by the isci kernel module. ELRepo has
a DUD for this driver: dd-isci-1.2.0-1.el8.elrepo.iso

Ljubomir provided detailed instructions on how to use ELRepo's DUD
isos earlier in this thread.

If you provide the device ID pairing [:] for the one that is
not working, it will become clear. Can you show us the output from:

lspci -nn

Is it this one?

Serial Attached SCSI controller [0107]: Intel Corporation C602 chipset
4-Port SATA Storage Control Unit [8086:1d6b]

If so, the above device ID [8086:1d6b] is not supported in RHEL/CentOS
8, unfortunately.

I have yet another theory. He probably meant to say:

"I suspect that releasing..."

As someone who is not a native English speaker, I know how this
happens. "doubt" and "suspect" can be translated into the same word
(certainly in Japanese). As a result, these two words are often used
incorrectly.

So, you tried to build the i2c-nct6775 module against
kernel-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7 under the running kernel 3.10.0-957.27.2
and you have a matching version of kernel-devel. Then I don't quite
understand why you get the "not supported by the compiler" error...

Thank you for the suggestion. After discussing this with the original
author of the article, the following description taken from the RHEL
documentation has been added:

"The file name /etc/grub2.cfg is a symbolic link to the grub.cfg file,
whose location is architecture dependent. It is better to use absolute
paths when accessing to a file, as in the example above, especially
when repairing a system."

When following the instructions in BuildingKernelModules, which kernel
version did you use? Also, after the "depmod -a" step, what is the
output from:

$ modinfo cifs | grep filename

Compressing modules is optional. Uncompressed form is functionally the
same (of course it saves some disk space).

In general, you want to keep the distro's kernel-headers unless you
also plan to play with glibc. You may find the following article
useful:

According to this forum thread:

ELRepo's kmod-8188eu seems to support your device. You may want to

If you are using the EPEL one, you can resolve it by installing:

Just checked the current CentOS kernel and confirm that the patch is in there.

[fs] xfs: detect agfl count corruption and reset agfl (Brian Foster) [1569471]

It was added as of kernel 3.10.0-912.el7. In other words all 7.6.1810
kernels are patched. What is the version of your running kernel?

The patch is commit a27ba2607e60312554cbcd43fc660b2c7f29dc9c upstream
(kernel.org). It was applied to kernel 4.16 and backported to 4.14 (
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/4/184 ). Therefore both CentOS kernels
4.14 and 4.19 have that patch.

Hi Rich,

Because of the work involved, you'd often need to add people to the
#acl line. If I did it right, you should be able to do that anywhere
under Events/. Please let us know if it does not work.

Going for the 4.14 kernel is absolutely a better choice. The i686 plus
kernel is just lucky to be existing. It would not have been possible
to maintain it without great support from people like Pablo and @kabe.
We initially got the 32-bit version from Springdale (formerly Puias).
Then they stopped building at some point. Building it becomes harder
and harder with each release, it seems. So, there is no guarantee that
there is another update to the i686 plus kernel.

As noted in the CentOS bug report you referenced (
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15570 ), I filed a report upstream
( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1658669, marked
private). In that RHBZ, they were able to reproduce it without
VirtualBox. Therefore they are aware this is not just a VBox problem.
The fix has been added to kernel-3.10.0-984.el7, meaning it will be in
the EL 7.7 kernel.

Now there is a separate RHBZ for "Z-Stream" for the same issue. This
means that the fix will be ported to the current series (EL 7.6).
Unfortunately I have no access to this BZ, so cannot tell the progress
there. Once it is fixed in RHEL, CentOS will inherit it.

Well, I wouldn't call it "hard-coded', but yes, if the kernel version
is not defined from the command line, then whatever the version
defined in the spec file is used. :)

By the way, the updated package is now in the elrepo testing repository, e.g.

https://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-8188eu-4.1.4_6773.20130222-5.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

That output indicates that that kmod package is built for the EL 7.5
kernel and is not compatible with the current kernel. I suggest you
file a request to have the kmod-8188eu rebuilt for EL 7.6 at

You guys are overreacting. :)

The bug was in a patch applied to the upstream (kernel.org) kernel
version 4.17. Therefore any distribution running this kernel was
affected -- including Fedora and SuSE. Red Hat backports upstream
patches and this particular one was one of them.

By the way, there is a nicely written article about VirtualBox at RH:

https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/hello-world/#virtualbox

along with other VM technologies.

There are known issues with VirtualBox and RHEL (therefore CentOS) 7.6.

(1) https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3=90103
(2) https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3=90267

(1) is about the GuestAdditions, so this should not affect the
installation. But you were most likely hit by (2). All the details are
in that forum thread. In short, this is caused by a bug in the 7.6
kernel (see also https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15570 ). It is
possible that the next update to the kernel has the fix but this
remains to be seen.

If you get the ZFS from the zfs.repo, they just published the EL7.6 package:

The submitter of RHBZ 1650634 is a developer of Scientific Linux. The
xorg packages in SL 7.6 have been published with the referenced patch
applied. If you so wish, you could install their packages.

ftp://linux1.fnal.gov/linux/scientific/7.6/x86_64/updates/security/

Note the "sl7" tag instead of "el7".

Hi Ken.

You should be able to edit all pages under Storage/ .

Regarding the policy, it's not mine. :) I'm sure someone will chime in. Fabian?
