The Linux requirements https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mgn/latest/ug/installation-requirements.html#linux-requirements include that the kernel-devel package is installed, that its version number is a match to the kernel version number, and also that the directory containing kernel-devel/linux-headers is not a symbolic link - in Ubuntu this will be found under /usr/src.

Are all of these conditions met on the system you are trying to install onto?

  • I have validated the linux requirements and don't see any issue. But still failing

    Below are the logs

  • On the face of it your system looks good, none of the exceptions in the Linux section of https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mgn/latest/ug/Supported-Operating-Systems.html look like they apply, and the error you are getting is not present in https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/mgn-linux-fix-replication-agent-install

    The only possible thing is in the release notes https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mgn/latest/ug/mgn-release-notes.html which have mention of support for Kernels 5.8-5.14 in December 2021, and support for Kernel 5.15 in January 2022 but nothing more since then, nor anything mentioning 5.19 which you're running.

I am facing the same issue while setting up MGN agent on one of my Ubuntu 22.04 instance running on MS Azure. I am trying to find the solution but yet to finish the task.
