Announcing the release of the kernel-lt-5.4.277-1.el8.elrepo package set into the EL8 elrepo-kernel repository:
https://elrepo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=kernel-lt This release is dedicated to the memory of Alan Bartlett, who passed away one year ago on May 31, 2023. Alan first launched a packaged mainline kernel for RHEL through The ELRepo Project in November 2010 [0], and single-handedly maintained their release until he passed away in 2023. We dedicate this release of the kernel package set to remember Alan and the immense amount of work and dedication he gave to this project for more than a decade. Rest in peace Alan, we miss you.

Meanwhile, these kernels may provide interim relief to people with non-functional hardware. We stress that we consider such kernels as a last resort for those who are unable to get their hardware working using the RHEL-8 kernel with supplementary kmod packages. These packages are provided "As-Is" with no implied warranty or support. Using the kernel-lt may expose your system to security, performance and/or data corruption issues. Since timely updates may not be available from the ELRepo Project, the end user has the ultimate responsibility for deciding whether to continue using the kernel-lt packages in regular service. The packages are intentionally named kernel-lt so as not to conflict with the RHEL-8 kernels and, as such, they may be installed and updated alongside the regular kernel. The kernel configuration is based upon a default RHEL-8 configuration with added functionality enabled as appropriate. If a bug is found when using these kernels, the end user is encouraged to report it upstream to the Linux Kernel Bug Tracker [1] and, for our reference, to the ELRepo bug tracker [2]. By taking such action, the reporter will be assisting the kernel developers, Red Hat and the Open Source Community as a whole. Thank you, The ELRepo Team.
