Final Followup:
Oracle GRID Infrastructure 19.7 and Oracle Database 19.7 *are* supported on
OL8.x.
ASM Filter Driver (AFD) and ASM Cluster Filesystem (ACFS) are *not*
supported on OL8 for 19.7. (Maybe it will be there for 19.8?)
So, I guess I'm sticking w/ OL7 for now. If/when 19.8 comes out, and it
supports AFD on OL8.x, I'll try to revisit this.

This way you don't need to fake the OS distribution either.

That makes sense. I'll try on OL8.1.

Well, I guess it's officiel. Although 19.7 Database is supported on
OL8.2, GRID is not.
Quote from my SR:
"AFD or GI or ACFS is not supported yet on 8.2".
Guess it's back to OL7 for me, for now.

Well, I got the asmcmd afd_label command to work.
Now I'm getting:
- AFD-620: AFD is not supported on this operating system version:
'unknown'
I ran orachk -u -o pre and it passed with flying colors. No critical,
error, warning, or info messages.
But I'm stuck w/ AFD-620....

Thanks everyone for all the replies. Special thanks to Scott Canaan,
for his private reply. He has the solution to the problem I was facing.
All the buttons were greyed out on the gridSetup.sh window. Turns out, I
was missing a font. I installed it, and the problem was resolved.
Specifically, I did:
sudo dnf install dejavu-sans-fonts
to get past that problem.
Now, I'm trying to get an AFD label on the initial disk that I need to
install/create ASM/Grid, and that's not working. It just quietly returns
without an error.
As to why I'm doing this, well, as I *rarely* get a chance to do
upgrades, and one is coming up soon, I was hoping to get on the latest
version of O/S and Oracle, so, Oracle Linux 8.2 and Oracle 19.7. I so
rarely get a chance to do the upgrade, when I do, I try to make the most of
it. :-)
If anyone has thoughts on getting asmcmd afd_label GRID01 /dev/nvme1n1p1
to work correctly, I'd appreciate it. As I said, right now, I'm not
getting an error, it just quietly returns and doesn't do anything.
Thanks,

Here’s what I created to run it on OL8 (inspired from Oracle maintained

Nonetheless, as Mladen said, it is *NOT* worth your time. We never had
to do this hack in previous Oracle releases either. Until, Oracle fixes
this, I told our management - forget engineering, I wont even download it
in corporate LAN. 😝

Did you try this ,
export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL7.6
I have silent scripts from Tim Hall that I adapted for Centos 8 and
even RHEL8.1 for installing 19.3 it worked the same .
you can check the below if you have all the rpms .

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up my first Oracle GI 19.7 on Oracle Linux 8.2. I had
no problem installing OL8.2 and UEK6 (which is the default kernel for
OL8.2). I also installed the oracle-database-preinstall-19c package, no
problem.
My understanding is that 19c is supported on OL8.1+, but only with the
19.7 patchset. Apparently, you're supposed to be able to run giidSetup.sh,
and it will work for installation, but you shouldn't attempt to use it till
you've patched it to 19.7.
Well, when I run gridSetup.sh, (19.3) I first get a warning about O/S
compatibility. I click through it, and I get the first window, but, it's
totally blank, and the buttons at the bottom are all greyed out except for
'Help' and 'Cancel'.
Anyone run into this? Any ideas? I've been searching Google and MOS,
but without any luck, so far.
Help? Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
-Mark
