As others have stated, unfortunately we are unable to support CentOS 
Stream kernels as the kernel ABI differs from that of the regular RHEL 
kernels. The consequence of this is that some kmod packages will be 
broken on the Stream kernels.

If you want to file a bug to notify upstream of the issue , you should 
file it at bugzilla.redhat.com against Product: RHEL8 / Component: 
kernel / Version: CentOS Stream. You should include the output from your 
original message.
