OVMD is not starting on OL8

Hi,

I've in-place upgraded my VM from OEL7 OL7 to OEL8 OL8, during which I had to uninstall OVMD as leapp upgrade would have failed, if I hadn't done so.

After the upgrade I installed the following packages:

ovmd, ovm-template-config, ovm-template-config-authentication, ovm-template-config-datetime, ovm-template-config-network, ovm-template-config-system, ovm-template-config-user, libovmapi-devel, libovmapi, xenstoreprovider, python3-simplejson

When starting OVMD I get the following error:

modprobe[10531]: modprobe: FATAL: Module ovmapi not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.0-1.43.4.1.el8uek.x86_64

uname output:
Linux <hostname> 5.15.0-1.43.4.1.el8uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Fri Aug 5 09:33:22 PDT 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

os-release output:

NAME="Oracle Linux Server"
VERSION="8.9"
ID="ol"
ID_LIKE="fedora"

Howdy, Stranger!
