Ending up with the following error trying to install CloudLinux?
You have third-party kernel module rpm installed.
It’s not compatible with CloudLinux kernel.
Please contact CloudLinux support at https://helpdesk.cloudlinux.com
In my case, this was because of the “kmod-vmware-tools-vmxnet3” module, since it was on a VMware guest machine.
Since removing it isn’t an option and I don’t see any good reason why this couldn’t work with CloudLinux, I decided to find a workaround to bypass the check for custom kernel modules.
Using the following installation parameter did the trick :
--skip-kmod-check
So let’s assume we are installing CloudLinux with a IP based license, the command would look like this :
sh cldeploy --skip-kmod-check -i 0.0.0.0
