I also have Gen8 and those are nearly 8 years old. With EL8 Gen8 is no longer supported (this doesn't mean it doesn't work)and many of the kernel modules don't recognize the old hardware. As recommend, you can use elrepo to solve the problem.

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.

Hi Thomas I've also checked 4.4.9 with "additional" drivers grabbed from ElRepo, on both Gen8/9. I'm still on 4.4.9, on RHVH hosts and oVirt nodes. No problems until now, since November.
