| Additional Information | # rpm -qi kernel-4.18.0-240.10.1.el8_3.x86_64 Name : kernel Version : 4.18.0 Release : 240.10.1.el8_3 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Fri 05 Feb 2021 10:08:48 AM EST Group : System Environment/Kernel Size : 0 License : GPLv2 and Redistributable, no modification permitted Signature : RSA/SHA256, Tue 19 Jan 2021 11:22:42 AM EST, Key ID 05b555b38483c65d Source RPM : kernel-4.18.0-240.10.1.el8_3.src.rpm Build Date : Mon 18 Jan 2021 12:21:52 PM EST Build Host : kbuilder.bsys.centos.org Relocations : (not relocatable) Packager : CentOS BuildSystem <http://bugs.centos.org> Vendor : CentOS URL : http://www.kernel.org/ Summary : The Linux kernel, based on version 4.18.0, heavily modified with backports Description : This is the package which provides the Linux kernel for CentOS. It is based on upstream Linux at version 4.18.0 and maintains kABI compatibility of a set of approved symbols, however it is heavily modified with backports and fixes pulled from newer upstream Linux kernel releases. This means this is not a 4.18.0 kernel anymore: it includes several components which come from newer upstream linux versions, while maintaining a well tested and stable core. Some of the components/backports that may be pulled in are: changes like updates to the core kernel (eg.: scheduler, cgroups, memory management, security fixes and features), updates to block layer, supported filesystems, major driver updates for supported hardware in CentOS, enhancements for enterprise customers, etc. | ||||

It just occured to me, I did a dnf distrosync to create this, it was not a fresh install. May not be a bug. |

At the moment AlmaLinux beta uses kernel-4.18.0-240 without updates so kernel header you've provided belongs to CentOS's kernel. AlmaLinux's kernel headers looks OK: # rpm -qi https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8.3-beta/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/kernel-4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64.rpm Name : kernel Version : 4.18.0 Release : 240.el8 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: (not installed) Group : System Environment/Kernel Size : 0 License : GPLv2 and Redistributable, no modification permitted Signature : RSA/SHA256, Fri 15 Jan 2021 09:14:07 PM MSK, Key ID 51d6647ec21ad6ea Source RPM : kernel-4.18.0-240.el8.src.rpm Build Date : Fri 15 Jan 2021 01:12:50 PM MSK Build Host : build.cloudlinux.com Relocations : (not relocatable) Packager : AlmaLinux Packaging Team <packager@almalinux.org> Vendor : AlmaLinux URL : http://www.kernel.org/ Summary : The Linux kernel, based on version 4.18.0, heavily modified with backports Description : This is the package which provides the Linux kernel for AlmaLinux.
