Rocky 8.10 and Kernel 4.18.0-553.36.1.el8_10.x86_64

Hello @all

Does anybody know if there is a problem with kernel-4.18.0-553.36.1.el8_10.x86_64?
I have some VMs where dnf found and installed this kernel version, but two VMs are stuck at kernel-4.18.0-553.34.1.el8_10.x86_64 and dnf does not find any later version of a kernel…

I tried dnf clean all but that didn’t help.

Is this an error or is it normal that not all machines get the above mentioned “36” kernel? :thinking:

Ok, I tried some things and now I am quite sure, that this is a temporary problem and has something to do with IPv6. We have a static public IPv4 address but no native IPv6 from our ISP, so I configured IPv6 with a tunnelbroker (Hurricane Electric).

It seems that this will help for me:
dnf clean all
dnf -4 update
