Hi Roberto

  We also used the ElRepo drivers in production - most of our e-learning servers including BBB are on oVirt Gen8 hosts. No problems whatsoever

  The problem is that I could not find drivers for the kernel version of the 4.4.10 release.

My cent.

I've used both Gen8 and Gen9 with ElRepo drivers, in light production, without any problem, more than 2 years.

Also qla2xxx driver was from ElRepo, being cluster with FC storage.

Thanks Darrell

  I think I understand your point, but it looks to me like such a bother to have to do things like this. I will try starting from 4.4.9.

  Could a solution be to install Debian and run kvm to install the ovirt-node? I guess you waste some resources doing this but maybe worth it if you can skip all this kernel business.

I hit this too, RH appears to have limited the supported PCI ids in their be2net and no longer includes the Emulex OneConnect in the list of supported IDs. I switched to the EL repo mainline kernels to resolve the issue on existing systems, it was a bit more fun on systems needing new installs of 8.x. I think I settled on installing an older system, switching kernels, and then upgrading to current.

Good luck,

"modprobe be2net" produces no errors but the network interfaces do not show up in "ip -a" even after reboot.
