The version of kernel-devel needs to match the version of the running kernel exactly. If you run uname -r then that is the version of the kernel-devel package that needs to be installed so to check if it is, run rpm -q kernel-devel-$(uname -r). Now reboot into the latest kernel and try that again and see if it gives output now?
Cheers Trevor this is now sorted.

FYI

For CentOS 8.2 after fresh installation:

sudo yum install gcc make kernel-headers kernel-devel
sudo yum install elfutils-libelf-devel
sudo /sbin/rcvboxadd quicksetup all
reboot


Then i was finally able to enlarge the 800x600 window where I could not select the 'Apply' button (which was out of screen) to change screen resolution
The elfutils-libelf-devel was mentioned in the log-file that rcvboxadd created.
