You have to set kernel_version_expected in environments/configuration.yml. We do not enforce specific Kernel series at the moment. Because of this you have to track the expected kernel version on your own.

So the default is not maintained? Is it expected that we have

• 5.10 here: https://github.com/osism/ansible-collection-validations/blob/8b9a5a15efc282edfa524bdb7ad34d453d7b130f/molecule/delegated/vars/kernel_version.yml#L2
• and here 5.4 https://github.com/osism/ansible-collection-validations/blob/8b9a5a15efc282edfa524bdb7ad34d453d7b130f/roles/kernel_version/defaults/main.yml#L2

?

I would expect that the Ubuntu 22.04 kernel (5.15) is default.

[berendt]

The default is simply set. Feel free to open a PR to change it to the default kernel of Ubuntu 22.04. But since you can also use HWE etc., the version there should not give the impression that exactly this version is necessary.

[berendt]

That's fixed. New default is 6.2.
