precompiled kmod packages unavailable for kernel 4.18.0-348.23.1

On my RHEL 8 machine when I try to update my machine, I get the following error:

Updating Subscription Management repositories.

I have been getting this message for over a week, which is longer than the ~24h that is advertised. Is there an estimate for when the kmod will be available for RHEL 8 kernel 4.18.0-348.23.1

Hi @lamberss The GPG key rotation that we did last week, has delayed new kmod RPM availability. My estimate would be next week.

Hi @lamberss Precompiled kmod packages are now available for the 4.18.0-372.9.1 kernel (RHEL 8.6 on May 10th)

Please note that to expedite this release, the previous (RHEL 8.5) kernel 4.18.0-348.23.1 was skipped. Let me know if you still need that version and we can go back to pick it up later.

Thanks! The update seemed to work fine. We don't think we'll need the 348.23.1 version.

@kittman minor interest in 4.18.0-372.9.1, but it will resolve itself in a few days either way.

Hi @michaelbarkdoll Sorry I was on vacation, is there a combination still needed? The CI/CD appears to have posted a few kmod packages in my absence.
