As per the front page of kernel.org, the 6.8.y kernel is long
end-of-life and not supported by us at all.  If you are relying on a
distro to provide a specific kernel version for you, please contact them
as you are paying for that service from them already, there's nothing
that we can do about that for obvious reasons.

hope this helps,
