If during system installation you enabled encryption on the boot device, the
following message will be logged during system boot

This message is harmless and can be safely ignored.

Since this is release noted and of low priority, I'm closing it out. 

The release note should just remain in the ongoing RHEL5 doc.

Comment 14 Alexander Todorov 2009-08-24 07:43:45 UTC

Can't this be fixed? Why it was closed as wontfix? 

I'm still seeing this error message when my system boots.
