How to install dkms on SLES 15 SP 6

Task

Install DKMS on SLES 15 SP6.

Solution

SLES 15 SP6 does not include DKMS in its standard repository by default. However, DKMS is available for SP6 via the openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6 repository (or Package Hub), so it can still be installed on SLES 15 SP6:
1. Enable unsupported modules. Launch:
echo "allow_unsupported_modules 1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/10-unsupported-modules.conf
2. Install DKMS package. Use the package from the openSUSE 15 SP6 Backports repository.
3. Install kernel symbols package. Download and install the corresponding kernel-syms package for your kernel version.
4. Proceed with your DKMS-based module installation. Once both packages are installed, you can continue installing or building DKMS modules as needed.
