  • FIPS hmac dracut error

    Posted on

    I had the following error appear on a previously working FIPS enabled system:
    dracut: FATAL: FIPS integrity test failed
    dracut: Refusing to continue
    dracut-pre-pivot[601]: Warning: /boot/.vmlinuz-3.10.0-x.x.x.el7.x86_64.hmac does not exist
    Dracut: FATAL: FIPS integrity test failed

    The system had been working and suddenly it started failing on the dracut error. I disabled fips in grub at boot. It looks like the boot partition pointer option in grub had the wrong UUID. Why would the UUIDhave changed?
