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 of problem:
Right now, we can't use FIPS mode in RHCOS (and FCOS for that matter) because of various compatibility issues in the 01fips module. There are patches outstanding to fix those issues:
https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/661
Could we have those patches reviewed, merged, and built as part of RHEL 8.2? We should be able to tag it for use in RHCOS from there.
Actually, can we have them backported to RHEL 8.1.1 instead? RHCOS recently rebased to 8.1 content, and given that dev freeze for OCP 4.3 is this Friday, it'd be safer to just keep the dracut delta to a minimum if possible.
Thank you so much for the quick action on this!
> Dracut is in baseos, so we can't release that to 8.1.1 (afaik). We could do a z-stream for 8.1, but not sure if that will help you.
OK, I went over the diff between 8.1.0 and 8.2.0 and the great majority of changes are related to tests. Otherwise, I found:
- some enablement for the network-manager module, which isn't relevant to us since we're still using network-legacy
- some fixes related to bash 4 vs bash 5
- and other tiny fixes
So overall, I think we're fine with just tagging in the 8.2 build into RHCOS.

Yes, I've already verified that the built packages fix FIPS mode in RHCOS.
