Install problem with `kmod-mvsas.x86_64` about packages

[pjperry]

What kernel are you running? (uname -a).
Elrepo kmod packages do not support CentOS Stream as the CentOS Stream kernel is not kABI compatible with the RHEL kernel. The CentOS Stream kernel is essentially a moving target to what will become the kernel in RHEL9.1. The packages just released are for RHEL9.0

uname -a output:
Linux homeserver.lan 5.14.0-86.el9.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri May 6 12:02:49 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Good that is just started from scratch and dint installed any other stuff.
What else do you recommend, install Rocky Linux?

EDIT:
Can you please explain what "kABI" means?

Hello folks, im fresh installed a CentOS 9 Stream and having some trouble while installing the kmod-mvsas.x86_64 driver:

 yum install -y kmod-mvsas.x86_64
Letzte Prüfung auf abgelaufene Metadaten: vor 0:04:19 am So 22 Mai 2022 00:17:58 CEST.
Fehler: 
 Problem: widersprüchliche Anforderungen
  - nichts stellt kernel(module_layout) = 0x5d330546 bereit, das von kmod-mvsas-0.8.16-1.el9_0.elrepo.x86_64 benötigt wird

[...]

It says "nothing provides kernel...."

I followed the instrucitons on your website and have imported the gpg key & installed the package:

rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
yum install https://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-9.el9.elrepo.noarch.rpm

And then a simple "yum install":

yum update
yum install -y kmod-mvsas.x86_64

Everything was correct so far, except the fact that you are using CentOS Stream 9. The packages from ELRepo are compatible with RHEL 9. Any compatibility with CentOS Stream 9 is pure luck.

(Even tried with `yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-mvsas.x86_64`)

Is there something im doeing wrong, or missing some dependencies (compiler/dev tools/etc?) I even have installed "Development Tools". (`yum groupinstall "Development Tools"`)

None of those packages is needed

Any help/hin is appreciated.

Either downgrade the kernel and use the one from RHEL 9.0 or install RHEL 9.0 altogether. The kernel(s) from CentOS Stream is(/are) newer and the packages built by ElRepo are not compatible.

As Wolfy says, the CentOS Stream kernel you are running is not compatible with elrepo packages, which are built for RHEL9.
Closing this issue as not something we can fix - you will need to run a compatible disto (RHEL9, Alma or Rocky etc, but not CentOS Stream).
If you want to run CentOS Stream then you should use the kmods SIG that CentOS provides, not elrepo.

@wolfy67 @pjperry Thanks for pointing that out to me.

And thanks for the awesome work you provide.
Last but not least, have a nice day :)
