      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      3.6.16-6.el8_7.x86_64

      How reproducible: Consistent.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Enable FIPS mode on a system.
      2. Reboot the system.

      Actual results:
      A message appepars in the journald log from dracut-cmdline: "Error in GnuTLS initialization: Error while performing self checks."

      Expected results:

      Additional info:
      This appears to be a regression from Bugzilla 1665061, which was fixed in gnutls-3.6.5-2.el8.
