Issue

RHEL 9 introduces a new line "Inconsistent state detected." when certain files are present. [root@r9 ~]# fips-mode-setup --check Installation of FIPS modules is not completed. FIPS mode is disabled. [root@r9 ~]# touch /etc/system-fips [root@r9 ~]# fips-mode-setup --check FIPS mode is disabled. Inconsistent state detected. <<<<<<<< [root@r8 ~]# fips-mode-setup --check Installation of FIPS modules is not completed. FIPS mode is disabled. [root@r8 ~]# touch /etc/system-fips [root@r8 ~]# fips-mode-setup --check FIPS mode is disabled. There is a request for RHEL 8 to match RHEL 9. Since there was a request for RHEL 9 to drop the message and that was denied, I am opening this request to make RHEL 8 match RHEL 9.
