A few things:
1. what version of ovirt-node are you using?
2. You can use the plugin tooling to install an updated kmod package as
long as it's in rpm format. This will ensure that it gets into both the
system and the initramfs. It's an offline process that will produce a
new iso that you can install or upgrade to. The tool is called
edit-node and is available in the ovirt-node-tools rpm (from the
ovirt.org repos)
3. Do you know if it's fixed in a recent release of the kernel on
Fedora? If it is, then we can spin an updated version of the image and
pick up the fix directly from fedora.
