Cause

The system displays this error when the system packages are not upgraded.

Proposed workaround

  • All system packages must be upgraded, except the kernel that should be 6.3 in order for encryption to work correctly.
  • Update all packages excluding kernel:
    yum update --exclude=kernel*
  • Modify: /etc/yum.conf
    [main]
    …
    exclude=kernel* redhat-release*
