Users may observe the following inappropriate log message in /var/log/boot.log after recovering from integrity failure: Sep 28 08:45:08 appliance-1 journal: FIPS Integrity Check: This system has been placed in an error state. Try to recover the system using /usr/libexec/ostree_recover utility or reinstall the system. On many devices pressing the escape key followed by '(' key will bring up a menu that allows the system to be restarted.
There are no noticeable performance issues or anomalies associated with these log messages, and the issue does not affect the overall system performance or user experience. There are no potential risks or security concerns related to the inappropriate log messages.
