I’m not sure how much freedom you have with your setup, but you could always try to use the elrepo-ml or elrepo-lt kernels. The elrepo-ml kernel follows the published version pretty closely, so for example right now I’m running 5.17.3 on my el8 boxes. The newer kernels solve a lot of hardware issues.

  • Thank you Joshua. If I can’t get this resolved by the end of this week, I’ll use your suggestion.

  • Hi Joshua, and list…

    I got the non-workng sound driver for Intel HDA fixed with my kernel
    4.18.0-373.

    After removing the extra kernel flag i915_alpha from my command line

    (see instructions when this module really was alpha

  • That’s great Kay, thanks for the info! Question, if you don’t mind my asking: how new is your hardware? The reason I ask is that certain newer Intel processors (11th generation mobile “Tiger Lake” i5 and i7) have a thermal issue where it’s throttled down to 400MHz in certain heavy loads. There is a fix coming for this in 5.18 and I’m not sure if RedHat is going to backport it to earlier kernels. (There is a stopgap to this, if you replace the thermald package with a thermald version 2.4.9 or later the problem isn’t as bad.)

  • Thanks Johnny.

    And to Joshua — my hardware is NOT REAL recent. This said, I WAS HAVING
    a lot of thermal issues in the past few months. After tweaking  things in my BIOS, updating my BIOS and uninstalling a fair amount of services I wasn’t using that were doing nothing but using up cycles, etc., I
    think I’m good now.

  • more info…and GADS! my kernel line change to kernel 4.18.0-373 is NOT
    THERE today!

    I did NOT use my former way of making this change permanent and well, the offending i915_alpha was back in play today mucking things up.

    So, a question…is this page for making universal changes to ALL
    kernels still valid?

  • grubby runs on a new kernel install .. so, maybe use that method so whatever grubby uses as default will be updated?

  • inline…

    Right now…kernel 4.18.0-373 is absolutely useless. Boots then goes out to lunch. Period.

    Given your reply about a new kernel — and I see other updates as well.

    CentOS 8 was SUPPOSED to be out of service in Dec, 2021. I was not paying attention to this. UGH!

    So…what can we expect in terms of ANY updates to the CentOS 8 line at this point?
