Actual results:
Prompted for a password

System should boot

The menuentry lines should include --unrestricted, but I don't see a hook in grub.d for anaconda to be able to configure this.

Comment 3 Bert DeKnuydt 2013-01-11 16:00:45 UTC

This is exactly Fedora bug #840204, which is long story with NO progress.

Comment 5 Peter Jones 2014-07-17 14:18:25 UTC

Can you test this with a released RHEL 7 tree?  I don't think this is actually still a bug.
