CentOS

Hi Trevor,

You are right... I forgot to enable the elrepo repository, so kmod files were not upgraded.

Enabled this repo, and everything works fine after the upgrade of 8.0 to 8.1

Thanks

While reistalling my server/nas from Centos 7.7 to 8.0, I had some problems. Using kmod-pata_amd and kmod-forcedeth, made installation of Centos 8.0 a success. Now, after upgrading to Centos 8.1 / kernel 4.18.0-147.3.1.el8_1.x86_64, system is broken. No root-disk. Creating a new installation usb-dri...

As I stated before, I saw a solution for Fedora, but I am running Centos 7. So your Fedora sulution is no solution for my Centos 7 server! That is why I adressed...
