RHEL kernel versions `kernel-4.18.0-372.91.1.el8_6` and `kernel-4.18.0-477.10.1.el8_8` are affected by [an issue](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7014646) that interrupts the installation or management of the Automation Suite cluster. Make sure that none of the Automation Suite nodes uses these kernel versions either pre- or post-installation. You can update the kernel version by running the following command:

```
dnf install -y kernel kernel-tools kernel-tools-libs
```
