Re: FIPS mode: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'drbg'

Hi Stephan,

Thanks. I have already tried that. ‘drbg’ module is loaded fine in a
non-fips mode. Here are output from some commands.

I see that at some point you had a patch to use CONFIG_CRYPTO_LRNG. I am
not using that, could that be a problem ?

Hi Tapas,

Hi Stephan,

Following up from the other thread:

While trying to boot in FIPS mode, kernel panics with the following
message. So far, I don¹t have success to get more information about
which
module or symbol is causing this. I haven¹t found any errors or warnings
in kernel compilation. It boots fine in a non-fips mode.

I am also pasting the CRYPTO related configs that I have enabled (See
below).

I do not see the issue immediately. Could you boot without fips=1 and do
a
modprobe drbg ?

I am also testing fips=1 now.

Ciao
Stephan
