Hi Diego,

Because you have used the DUD image, you are supposed to have the
kmod-isci package on your system. You can check it by running:

rpm -q kmod-isci

It will be updated whenever a newer version is released once elrepo
has been installed on your system. Just follow the instructions on our
homepage:

https://elrepo.org/tiki/HomePage

That should do it.
