Thanks. I understand your point, but I am one of those people who simply can't do an upgrade to the LTS kernel. Again, I think this doesn't necessarily answer my question about FIPS and kernel panic. An additional note, older kernels (2.6.x) and its RH derivatives, works fine when started under FIPS mode. I am sure I am missing some basics when turning the OS to run under FIPS mode, which is why this email to the experts :-) On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 3:14 PM, Greg KH <greg@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 02:41:37PM -0600, Tapas Sarangi wrote: >> Thanks for the reply. >> I am using and compiling kernel from kernel.org.
