CentOS-8: Firewalld Not Starting
Hello everyone, When I try to start firewalld in CentOS-8 it refuses with this in the
/var/log/firewalld, any suggestions?

One thought on - CentOS-8: Firewalld Not Starting
Are you running CentOS 8 on a hosting provider that uses OpenVZ or similar container-like VPSs? What does “uname -r” report?
I ask because it looks like your system can’t load the kernel modules required to set up a firewall.
