Documentation issue description

Hi

Trying to update RHEL 7.9 server and got to this step:-

Replace the 7 with the RHEL version you have (For example - for RHEL 9 use 9)

sudo yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm no longer exists. Do you have a link that works for this?

Thanks!

Hi @neilmerchant

RHEL7 has moved to ELS (Extended Life-cycle Support), please see https://smoogespace.blogspot.com/2024/06/what-happens-to-epel-7-when-el-7-goes.html#_epel7_summary which explains what happens to the EPEL packages.

Through a search you can find it in https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-7-14.noarch.rpm

@davidarinzon Thanks - I managed to find that and in the next step it now needs the link to the dkms RPM instead of installing it out of EPEL. Ticket was to reflect this in the documentation more than reporting a bug with ENA etc.

We will improve the documentation for the next driver release. Thanks for pointing this out.

Let me know if you have further questions.
