xfs: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
by rebelion59 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4X364)
Hello,
I am running slackware-current (x86_64) in a VirtualBox vm. Everything works well, but I am getting the message below when I load the xfs module, just before I am asked for the encryption passphrase:
"xfs: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel"
Looking at the config-generic-5.4.6.x64 file I can see that CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL is not set. Does this mean that I have to manually sign all /lib/modules/${version} using the signing keys in /usr/src/linux/certs? Or maybe I should just enable that flag and recompile the kernel? Am I misunderstanding this?
Some info about my setup:
-> Full disk encryption
-> XFS as the filesystem
-> Using kernel-generic
-> Manually created a initrd.gz file
Thanks.
