RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This was masked in earlier builds due to kernel bug 1016146. Now
that the kernel bug has been fixed this bug was uncovered.
The problem is that dracut is looking in the incorrect location for the kernel hmac.
A suggested workaround is to symlink the kernel into the correct path at image creation time:
# ln -s /dev/.initramfs/live/isolinux/vmlinuz0 /boot/vmlinuz-<version>
This fix doesn't work, because the vmlinuz-* files are removed later in the livecd creation process.
Test version:
rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20131114.2.3.2
ovirt-node-2.5.0-17.el6_4.14.noarch
dracut-004-336.el6_5.1.noarch
Test steps:
1. Auto install with fips=1
storage_init=/dev/sda adminpw=XXX fips=1 firstboot
2. check grub
Test result:
1. Auto install with fips=1 can successful no panic.
2. fips=1 stored in grub.conf.
So the bug is fixed with above version.

> can you provide info if it's fixed in 6.5-20131121.0.el6ev.noarch?
it's not fixed in 6.5-20131121.0.el6ev.noarch and 6.5-20131129.2.0.
dracut version in 6.5-20131129.2.0 is dracut-fips-004-335.el6.noarch.
can you try please latest released RHEV-H - 6.5-20131127.0.el6ev.noarch.
fabian - i don't know how to verify this, or where is the list of FIXED bugs per a rhevh build (would be nice to automate this and get a report per build).

Hey Eyal,
normally all bugs fixed for a RHEV-H build can be found in the corresponding erratum. This wasn't really a bug in RHEV-H, therefor no RHEV-H bug existed which could be put in an errata.
This bug can be tested by appending fips=1 to the kernel arguments.
The fix for this problem landed in dracut-004-336.el6_5.1, see bug 1029846 for the 6.5 bug (this bug is tracking the 6.6 bug/fix).
