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.

Description as 2015-09-02 19:22:05 UTC
Description of problem:
Installer halts with error `dracut-fips not installed` after adding fips=1 to initfs line before commencing installation. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.3

How reproducible:
Add `fips=1` to boot loader prior to starting installation

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start installer
2. Press Tab for options
3. Add `fips=1` to end of configuration
4. Proceed with installation

Actual results:
Installer allows me to set up partitioning, then when I click 'Done' it starts installing.. moments later the system throws the crash handler.  The error reported is: 

NoSuchPackage: dracut-fips 

Expected results:
Adding fips=1 would automatically include dracut-fips, and the system could be installed with FIPS enabled (allowing us to use the encrypt checkbox during partioning).  

Additional info:

Comment 2 as 2015-09-02 19:40:51 UTC
Incorrect install file used - closing ticket.

I do not show this error happening with rhel-server-7.1-x86_64-dvd.iso
