    Posted on

    Hi,

    I am getting this error when upgrading my rhel8

    There is a nice solution about it:
    Solution 5672791

    Problem is that I have already dracut-network installed. In fact removed it and reinstalled several times, same with kernel

    [root@VPL-SPR-DNS02 35network-legacy]# rpm -qa | grep dracut-network
    dracut-network-049-191.git20210920.el8.x86_64
    

    Any idea why this can be happening?

    Thanks!!!
