Errors are never good. Something seems to have gone awry on your 
installation.

The above lines should not be there. The new version 5.3.4-2.el7_8 
package is only compatible with el7.8 - it is not backward compatible 
with el7.7 series kernels.

I would suggest you uninstall the kmod package and try reinstalling it, 
hopefully that succeeds without depmod errors and the above references 
to 3.10.0-1062 series kernels are gone. Also try running 'depmod -a', 
again hopefully without error.

Let us know if that doesn't fix things.
