Using QArepo and MCC to install the server version. When selecting the kernel-server, I get:
To fulill dependencies, following packages are needed:

- kernel-server-5.13.4-1.mga8-1-1.mga8.x86_64
- kernel-server-latest-5.13.4-1.mga8.x86_64

Which is rubbish and blocks the installation.

@ Herman, yes as we have both hit before.
discussed in mailing list 2021-06-17
"[qa-discuss] Kerrnel-server-5.10.43 and virtualbox"

IIRC one workaround is to remove, not only inactivate, backport and backport_testing repos.

@Morgan
Removing the backport repos might be a workaround for testing this update, but I do not agree to release this update in this form to the general public.

Even that does not help :
This laptop had kernel-desktop before, now installing kernel-server.
Now when selecting kernel-server, I get:
Following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded:
basesystem-8-0.4.mga8.x86_64
 (because missing basesystem-minimal)
basesystem-minimal-8-0.4.mga8.x86_64
 (because missing basesystem-minimal-core)
basesystem-minimal-core-8-0.4.mga8.x86_64
 (because missing mageia-release >= 1)
etc ... including drakconf

that sounds like you are trying to install an 32bit kernel on a 64bit install

Checked file names in QARepo, all are mga8.x86_64.rpm except the kernel-do of course.

did you remove 32bit backports and backports_testing too ?

putting on hold, new kernels coming to fix more spectre security issues.

Installed bluez and blueman.  Difficulty connecting to new audio device - needed a reboot.  All is well now.

Addition to comment 19:
Installed virtualbox and added user to vboxusers.  Installed dkms-virtualbox and launched a couple of mga7 guests, 32-bit and 64-bit.

Installed both server and desktop kernels; 309 packages because this parition has not been visited for a while.  Reboot was restarted to change the display driver to nouveau.

The disk stress test continued well beyond the assigned time, so this is a consistent problem across machines for this kernel.
teapot runs at the maximum frame rate of 30 Hz.
No problems with virtualbox.
Installed blueman and set up bluetooth audio.  pavucontrol registered the bluetooth portable speaker OK.

Letting this run for a day or two.

what disk stress test ?

e.g.
$ stress -d 3 -t 25
stress: info: [1038848] dispatching hogs: 0 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 3 hdd
stress: info: [1038848] successful run completed in 288s

gkrellm reports 12.4M transfers, occasionally double that.

description: |
  This kernel update is based on upstream 5.10.56 and fixes atleast the
  following security issues:

  In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can
  obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a Speculative Store
  Bypass side-channel attack because the protection mechanism neglects the
  possibility of uninitialized memory locations on the BPF stack
  (CVE-2021-34556).

  In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can
  obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a Speculative Store
  Bypass side-channel attack because a certain preempting store operation
  does not necessarily occur before a store operation that has an
  attacker-controlled value (CVE-2021-35477).

  Other fixes in this update:
  - btrfs: fix lost inode on log replay after mix of fsync, rename and
    inode eviction
  - btrfs: fix race causing unnecessary inode logging during link and rename
  - watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Fix detection of SMI-off case (fixes sporadic reboots
    on some systems)
  - Revert "ACPICA: Fix memory leak caused by _CID repair function", fixing
    boot failures on some systems
  - fix another ACPI issue causing some systems to boot slowly or not at all
    after kernel 5.10.50
  - revert: 'scsi: sr: Return appropriate error code when disk is ejected'
    (fixes DVD opening on resume from suspend or standby, mga #29262)
