I am getting ready to push a -383 kernel in a few minutes (if you still 
need an update)

Thanks Johnny.

And to Joshua -- my hardware is NOT REAL recent. This said, I WAS HAVING 
a lot of thermal issues in the past few months. After tweaking? things 
in my BIOS, updating my BIOS and uninstalling a fair amount of services 
I wasn't using that were doing nothing but using up cycles, etc., I 
think I'm good now.

Right now...kernel 4.18.0-373 is absolutely useless. Boots then goes out 
to lunch. Period.

Given your reply about a new kernel -- and I see other updates as well.

Centos 8 was SUPPOSED to be out of service in Dec, 2021. I was not 
paying attention to this. UGH!

So...what can we expect in terms of ANY updates to the CentOS 8 line at 
this point?
