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 Alexander Sosedkin 2021-11-12 17:47:02 UTC 
This is a spin-off of bz2013195 at around bz2013195#13,
which might be useful for a wider context.

On s390x booting seems to be relatively fragile
and regeneration of initramfs
or other modification of bootloader-referenced files
needs to be followed by invoking `zipl`,
lest the system might be rendered unbootable.

It has been identified that Anaconda first calls `zipl` (s390x only),
and only then calls `fips-mode-setup --no-bootcfg` (fips=1 only).
`fips-mode-setup --no-bootcfg` regenerates initramfs
yet doesn't touch the bootloader, leaving anaconda to handle that.
`--no-bootcfg` currently includes not running `zipl` as well,
leaving the system unbootable.

Sounds like reordering these two operations
1) follows the current motive of "anaconda handles bootloader",
2) doesn't hurt even if `fips-mode-setup` is modified
   to also call `zipl` even with `--nobootcfg` passed.
Possibly `zipl` could be moved to an even later point
to lower the chances of other similar mis-orderings in the future.
