The error in your log identifies a specific compilation failure:

error: implicit declaration of function ‘rq_list_move’; did you mean ‘list_move’?

The AWS Replication Agent (version 6.42) is currently incompatible with Linux Kernel 6.8.

The Agent works by compiling a custom kernel module (the "Agent Driver") on your source machine. Kernel 6.8 introduced changes to internal APIs (specifically renaming/removing rq_list_move) that the Agent’s driver installer does not yet support. Even though you are running Ubuntu 22.04, your system has likely been updated to a newer HWE (Hardware Enablement) kernel.

AWS DRS typically trails behind the latest "bleeding edge" kernels by a few weeks or months.

1. Verify Supported Operating Systems Check the official AWS DRS Supported Operating Systems list -> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/drs/latest/userguide/Supported-Operating-Systems-Linux.html#General-Notes . If specific HWE kernels are used, they often break driver compilation until a specific Agent patch is released by AWS.

2. Check for an Updated Installer AWS updates the installer frequently to catch up with kernel changes. Ensure you are downloading the absolute latest version to see if a fix for Kernel 6.8 has been released:

wget -O aws-replication-installer-init https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-us-west-1.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/latest/linux/aws-replication-installer-init
chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init
sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init

3. Workaround: Use a Stable Kernel If the latest installer still fails, the most reliable fix is to boot your server using the standard Ubuntu 22.04 LTS kernel (5.15) or a stable 6.2 version, which are fully supported.

Please note: I am NOT an AWS employee and this is a community forum, NOT the official AWS support. Therefore, I would in any case also create a ticket in the AWS account where the error occurs. Perhaps there is a possibility that support can help even with an unsupported kernel version.
