the installation log shows:

1.	kernel-headers rpms cannot be found in oracle yum repo or anywhere else

2.	kernel-uek-devel-5.4.17-2136.329.3.1.el8uek.x86_64 is already installed and there's no rpm called kernel-devel-5.4.17-2136.329.3.1.el8uek.x86_64

what should I do next? thanks

Can you try installing the headers and try again?
Commands as follows as per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/drs/latest/userguide/installation-requiremets.html#general-requirements
```
sudo yum install kernel-uek-devel-`uname -r`
```
