| Doc Text: |
Cause:
HMAC file for gnutls, used for integrity checks in FIPS mode, has been moved to `/usr/lib64/.gnutls.hmac`
Consequence:
other software relying on HMAC file location wasn't able to locate it. For example, dracut no longer copied it to initramfs, impacting functionality of NetworkManager during early boot in FIPS mode
Fix:
gnutls HMAC file location has been moved back to `/usr/lib64/.libgnutls.so.30.hmac`
Result:
gnutls HMAC file is successfully installed into initramfs for machines switched to FIPS mode

Note: reproducing this requires `dracut-network` package installed, which pulls in nmcli, which pulls in gnutls. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: On RHEL 9.0 post-GA, message [ 8.190251] dracut-cmdline[554]: Error in GnuTLS initialization: Error while performing self checks. appears on the console when provisioning is run with the fips=1 parameter. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnutls-3.7.6-12.el9_0.x86_64 kernel-5.14.0-70.30.1.el9_0.x86_64 dracut-055-45.git20220404.el9_0.x86_64 How reproducible: Deterministic.
