Hi, Community! The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is excited to announce that AlmaLinux OS 8.6 Stable is now available. Just like a flash after the beta release. This stable release is for the x86_64, aarch64 and ppc64le architectures and is ready for production installations and to power all your...

Just updated 2 servers to this version, didnt see any problems

EDIT: it is possible that the servers are busy .
To be sure clean your cache, other wise you will run into comply problems because of partially downloaded updates

dnf clean all
dnf update

In addition to changing the branding they need to test too. Centos took about a month to deliver a minor update. RockyLinux is saying it will take them a week or two.
 
The upgrade went OK. But since the reboot took some time I had a look in the log file.
I had a lot of notices about dracut parts, did you have that too?

Is there a way I can uninstall some things so I won't see those notices anymore?

I can't uninstall dracut because it also shows this:
Code:

May  9 00:02:14 server dracut[1880116]: *** Including module: i18n ***
and various others.

I also found this error in the log:

Don't know if you guys checked your messages log after upgrading and have seen the same things?
 
I updated to Rocky 8.6 last Thursday or Friday. Typically, I would have taken a snapshot of the server beforehand and I didnt. Of course after the update, I rebooted the machine and it took about three minutes before I could see a website again. Normally, a reboot would take less than a minute to reach that stage. In fact, it took so long that I didnt think it was going to ever start and I almost stopped the VM (glad I didnt). What logs are you looking at? I can take a look too.
 
You're funny @Richard G

I can confirm I got those same dracut module messages after upgrading. I did the install back on 5/19. They stopped about 20 minutes later.

Almost did the same? took very long to boot. Opened up the web shell and it was still booting. My heart rate went a little higher?
 
good thing to here in this thread, I don't know what 's rockylinux 8.6 is same issued with almalinux. but I still don't upgrade yet. :D

Who use rockylinux, I want to know result upgraded.
 
Oke so both Almal and Rocky took a longer time to boot and had those dracut notices in the logfiles..... phew.... glad I'm not the only one then.?

But everything works fine if I understand correctly, so that is a good thing.

Do you mean you had 20 minutes of those notices in the log? Or did you reboot 20 minutes later and then they were gone?
 
I had those messages for 20 minutes in my logs, then they stopped. I forget what happened, but I know I saw something after the first reboot that caused me to reboot the machine not long afterwards (same day). When I looked at my logs to see if the dracut message stopped because of the second reboot, I could not find messages indicating a reboot occurred around that time.
 
I just looked again, it appears I did reboot and the messages stopped. The types of messages I see are these:

Yep, those are the same I had as you can see.
Did you also find the error notices like in my post about the Authorization Manager?
