Summary0009307: kernel-4.18.0-553.50.1.el8_10 fails to boot up during AWS vmimport because of a RHEL8 bug
Descriptionkernel-4.18.0-553.50.1.el8_10 fails to boot up during AWS vmimport because of a RHEL8 bug.

Booter logs show kernel panic during xen_time_init. This exact kernel panic error has been reported on RHEL forums: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7116307

The issue has been resolved with the errata: RHBA-2025:4337. Rocky 8 needs to update the kernel to kernel-4.18.0-553.51.1.el8_10 to fix the issue. However, this version is not yet available in Rocky errata and mirrors.
Steps To ReproduceUse a Rocky 8.10 vm with kernel-4.18.0-553.50.1.el8_10.x86_64 and do a vmimport or use AWS image builder. The import fails with this error message

      "StatusMessage": "CLIENT_ERROR : FirstBootFailureException: FirstBootFailure: This import request failed because the instance failed to boot and establish network connectivity.",

I request the Rocky 8 team to pull the latest kernel from upstream and push it to rocky mirrors

The kernel was released today by upstream. Kernels must be built in our secure boot environment and tested before they are released.

Thank you for letting me know the timeline for the update. Once it is released, this can be marked resolved. Looks like I don't have a way to do it.
