On any HPE Synergy Compute Module running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3 with Errata Kernel 5.14.0-362.18.1 (or later), and configured with any of the HPE Synergy network adapters listed in the Scope section below; the HPE QLogic FastLinQ drivers (kmod-qlgc-fastlinq-8.74.0.1-1.rhel9u3.x86_64.rpm), or the HPE Intel drivers (kmod-hp-i40e-2.24.6-1.rhel9u3.x86_64.rpm and kmod-hp-iavf-4.9.5-1.rhel9u3.x86_64.rpm), or the HPE Mellanox drivers (kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel-24.01-OFED.24.01.0.3.3.1.rhel9u3.x86_64.rpm and mlnx-ofa_kernel-24.01-OFED.24.01.0.3.3.1.rhel9u3.x86_64.rpm) will fail to install or load during the process of replacing the inbox kernel. This issue occurs due to a kABI breakage started with errata kernel 5.14.0-362.18.1, that causes weak updates that are unable to create the symbolic links properly; therefore, the drivers are unable to load on errata kernels. To verify if the desired version of the driver is loaded, check if driver is installed correctly by using the command "modinfo". Messages similar to the following are experienced when the diagnostic messages command (dmesg) is executed: Example for QLogic FastLinQ (qed/qede/qedi/qedf/qedr)drivers qed: disagrees about version of symbol devlink_unregister qed: Unknown symbol devlink_unregister (err -22) qed: disagrees about version of symbol skb_copy_bits qed: Unknown symbol skb_copy_bits (err -22) qed: disagrees about version of symbol skb_put qed: Unknown symbol skb_put (err -22) ... qede: disagrees about version of symbol __tracepoint_xdp_exception qede: Unknown symbol __tracepoint_xdp_exception (err -22) qede: disagrees about version of symbol alloc_etherdev_mqs qede: Unknown symbol alloc_etherdev_mqs (err -22) qede: disagrees about version of symbol bpf_prog_put qede: Unknown symbol bpf_prog_put (err -22) ... qedi: Unknown symbol iscsi_boot_destroy_kset (err -2) qedi: Unknown symbol iscsi_host_for_each_session (err -2) qedi: Unknown symbol iscsi_itt_to_task (err -2) ... qedf: Unknown symbol fcoe_ctlr_init (err -2) qedf: Unknown symbol fc_rport_lookup (err -2) qedf: Unknown symbol fcoe_get_paged_crc_eof (err -2) ... qedr: Unknown symbol rdma_copy_ah_attr (err -2) qedr: Unknown symbol ib_umem_release (err -2) qedr: Unknown symbol rdma_read_gid_l2_fields (err -2) ...
