  • conflicting requests

  • nothing provides dkms >= 3.2 needed by xpmem-dkms-2510.0.16-1.el9.x86_64 from doca

(try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages or ‘–nobest’ to use not only best candidate packages)

I saw that you were assisted by the support case you opened.

As mentioned in the installation guide:

DKMS ≥ 3.2 must be installed on the system as a package on rpm based systems.
