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.

kdump encryotion crash - Anaconda screenshot from VM
Description of problem:
When kdump is disabled and encryption is then enabled, Anaconda crashes.
Note, reversing the order works.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.6 DVD install
How reproducible:
Every time regardless of if physical or virtual.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot 8.6 DVD installer
2. Click through the language screen
3. Go to Kdump first and on that screen uncheck "Enable kdump" and click done to return to previous screen.
4. Click Installation. Verify Automatic (can try Custom, just more steps to same error) and "Encrypt my data" is checked. Click done.
5. Enter password and click "Save passphrase".
6. Wait a second or two...
Actual results:
The crash will happen quickly after Anaconda stops responding.
Expected results:
Anaconda doesn't crash and the installer completes.
Additional info:
If you reverse the order and encrypt first then disable kdump, it's fine.
Discovered by the Rocky testing team.
Thanks for reporting this issue! This bug will be fixed in a new release. Before that, a workaround is to create the encrypted disk partitioning first and then disable kdump.
