tboot kernel installed, on a system with tboot disabled, after yum update

Latest response

Hello,

I had a new RHEL 6.6 x86_64 installation with tboot enabled. I decided I didn't want tboot so I disabled it be following instructions of https://access.redhat.com/solutions/421093 document. The problem is that after a "yum update" and the installation of a new kernel, kernel description in grub.conf includes the tboot portion which leads to server not booting since tboot package has been removed. I suppose that during the "yum update" process something done during the initial installation (with tboot enable) triggers the creation of a grub.conf entry with the tboot portion. Is there any way to avoid that and eventually not having to edit grub.conf after every new kernel installation?

Thanks,
Evagelos

I'm seeing the same issue. I removed tboot and changed grub.conf to not use tboot ... when a new kernel is installed all the tboot lines are added somehow for that new kernel and the machine hangs during boot. Where is this tboot stuff coming from to get into grub.conf?
