Fatal FIPS Selftest Failures

OpenSSH fails to start with the following errors:

sshd-gen-keys-start[1033]: fips.c(137): OpenSSL internal error, assertion failed: FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE
systemd[1]: Failed to start OpenSSH Daemon.

Other errors include:

wicked: Libgcrypt error: integrity check using '/usr/lib64/.libgcrypt.so.20.hmac' failed: No such file or directory
wicked: Libgcrypt notice: state transition Self-Test => Error
wicked: __ni__hashctx_new: gcry_md_open failed
wicked: cannot generate uuid for lo config - hashing failed
wicked: cannot generate uuid for eth0 config - hashing failed

# cat /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled shows 1

# cat /proc/cmdline includes fips=1

Running rpm -qa | grep fips shows only libfipscheck1 and fipscheck packages installed.

1. Reboot the server without the fips=1 kernel option.
2. Install the "FIPS 140-2 specific packages" pattern via YaST or use zypper install patterns-sles-fips
3. Reconfigure FIPS. (See TID7016636 - FIPS installed but not working)
4. Reboot the server with fips=1 kernel option.

Other options to resolve the error: OpenSSL internal error, assertion failed: FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE
