[SR-Users] RTPENGINE question

Related to tainted kernel, I faced the same issue when I deployed
rtpengine on a Suse Enterprise many months ago, so I do not really
remember the exact steps, but there is a way to disable the check of
signed kernel modules (iirc, these are only the ones coming from the
kernel source tree, so if you need to load any external kernel module,
you have to disable this option).

Quick check on the net, it may have to do with module.sig_enforce option
for kernel loading.

Cheers,
Daniel
