At the moment, I’am running “Oracle Linux Server release 8.7” to test some 21c features incl. ACFS. I have not installed the latest OS which is “Oracle Linux Server release 9.1” because neither Oracle 19c nor Oracle 21c is supported on the new OS. However, while I am still running the older OS, the UEK Kernel 5.15.0.x is still not support in combination which ACFS.
# cat /etc/oracle-release Oracle Linux Server release 8.7 [root@ocm199 bin]# ./acfsroot install ACFS-9459: ADVM/ACFS is not supported on this OS version: '5.15.0-100.96.32.el8uek.x86_64'
In case you search through the latest 21.10 ACFSRU directories you will find that even with the latest ACFSRU, Oracle still does not support the UEK Kernel 5.15.0.x.
The only one added for OEL 8.x to the list is: UEK 5.4.17-2011.0.7
If you search through the patch subdirectory 35068505/files/usm/install/Oracle, you will find all new Kernels which are included in this patch.

So I decided to switch to the standard OEL Kernel 4.18.0-425.19.2.el8_7.x86_64. To do so, you need to run the grubby command which exists since OEL 7.x. Afterwards reboot the system to make sure that it works as desired.
[root@ocm199 bin]# grubby --default-kernel /boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-100.96.32.el8uek.x86_64 [root@ocm199 bin]# grubby --info=ALL | grep ^kernel kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-100.96.32.el8uek.x86_64" kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-3.60.5.1.el8uek.x86_64" kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-425.19.2.el8_7.x86_64" kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64" kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-3429d58a19e04582a7fbe44b89c01f34" [root@ocm199 bin]# grubby --set-default /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-425.19.2.el8_7.x86_64 The default is /boot/loader/entries/3429d58a19e04582a7fbe44b89c01f34-4.18.0-425.19.2.el8_7.x86_64.conf with index 2 and kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-425.19.2.el8_7.x86_64 [root@ocm199 bin]# grubby --default-kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-425.19.2.el8_7.x86_64 [root@ocm199 bin]# reboot
After the system came up, you can install the 21.10 ACFSRU. For more information about the patch, check out the MOS Note.
