Or, on a system with the released version 0.25 package installed, another option is to create a file named rocky-8-x86_64.cfg with this content in the /usr/share/convert2rhel/configs/ folder.

Hi @khanhibus, the latest released version of convert2rhel 0.25 does not allow the Rocky 8 conversion yet. For that, you need to install a development version of convert2rhel from the Fedora Copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/oamg/convert2rhel/. You can do that by:
# yum-config-manager --add-repo https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/oamg/convert2rhel/repo/epel-8/group_oamg-convert2rhel-epel-8.repo
# yum install -y "convert2rhel*main*" # a package built out of the main development branch
from convert2rhel.

Hi @bocekm,
Thanks for your responses.
I tried the development version of convert2rhel and it worked for the most part. As I am using a local repo server to distribute RHEL 8 packages, I am only downloading the newest versions of packages. The convert2rhel command threw an error that it wanted to install kernel-4.18.0-348.12.2.el8_5.x86_64, which is older than what is currently available from my local repo (kernel-4.18.0-372.9.1.el8.x86_64).
I had to download the older kernel package on my repo server, at which point the convert2rhel task completed successfully. Something to note is that after the first conversion attempt failed, it deleted the /etc/system-release file. Running the convert2rhel command again failed because that file was missing. Luckily this was VM that I snapshotted prior to the conversion attempt, but for others that have a similar use case to mine, be mindful that if this process fails on your first attempt, especially if running on bare metal with no backups.

Don't you happen to have a log file containing this error? I wonder what was the reason for it. Since you use a local repo server I expect you used the --no-rhsm and --enablerepo options. And in that case when installing the RHEL kernel, convert2rhel invokes a yum command like the following so it should install whatever kernel is available in your local repo.
# yum install -y --disablerepo="*" --releasever=8.6 --setopt=module_platform_id=platform:el8 --enablerepo=<your_local_server_repo> kernel
Regarding the deleted /etc/system-release file. Unfortunately the error you've bumped into happened after the "point of no return" about which the tool warns the user by printing WARNING - The tool allows rollback of any action until this point. Indeed, a full system backup is strongly recommended before performing the conversion.

@bocekm, I was using the following command to invoke the upgrade:
convert2rhel --no-rhsm --enablerepo=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms --enablerepo=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms --restart -y
I have not tried to convert any other Rocky Linux systems since I opened this issue but will be sure to upload any new logs should I convert another system in the future and encounter the same error.

@bocekm, I did another convert2rhel conversion from Rocky Linux 8.6 to RHEL 8.6 and encountered the same issue with the conversion process not wanting to install the latest kernel. Here are the relevant log lines, as requested:

I believe the relevant log line is: Conflict of kernels: One of the installed kernels has the same version as the latest RHEL kernel.
The install did not fail as I already have the kernel-*-4.18.0-348.12.2.el8_5.x86_64 RPMs in my local repo, but hopefully this helps in debugging the issue.

@khanhibus, the conversion of Rocky Linux 8.6/8.8 does not fail anymore with the current state of the main branch.
@jochapma will create a new issue to track the problem with having old kernel version installed after the conversion and post the link here.
