However, please note that a similar message as the following will still be presented:
This message is presented once, only for each boot for the first module that either has no
signature or whose key is not in the kernel key ring. So it's much easier to miss this mes-

you reboot. There is no way to eliminate this message.
Step 2.
Update the initramfs on RHEL systems with the stripped modules.
