Installation and Boot
The following features, enhancements, and changes related to installation and boot are introduced in this Oracle Linux 10 release.
New Boot Menu Entry for fips=1 Added to ISO Installations
A new boot menu entry enables the fips=1 kernel option for ISO installations
to simplify FIPS compliance.
The DVD and Boot ISO image installations provide a new boot menu entry for setting the
fips=1 kernel boot option. Enabling FIPS mode during the Oracle Linux
installation ensures that the system generates all keys with FIPS-approved algorithms and
continuous monitoring tests in place. By using this boot option, you start the installation
with the fips=1 kernel parameter to target the system's compliance with
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140 requirements.
