Description

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Problem: mkinitrd will also not build with FIPS enabled if /boot is on a dmraid device to clarify: the initrd will be build but the boot process will fail because the boot partition can not be mounted (to verify vmlinuz.hmac). to boot my system i changed the sequence of the init script (packaged in initrd) to initialize the dm device before the sha512hmac-checks are performed. Paulo, that sounds like something we might be able to fix. Could you open a different bug with details on the problem and how you fixed it? [root@chicken ~]# rpm -q mkinitrd
mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-75.el5
'man mkinitrd' says:
FIPS
...
/boot Must not be on multipath, nfs, dmraid or mdraid
Moving to VERIFIED.
