Er .. re my previous post, I don't mean "lie to RH and claim to want to
buy RHEL to get free support". I mean that you should consider going to
management and getting approval for professional support and integration
work from a specialist, because you're going to need it.

Alternately you could do the dodgy Trusted GRUB + signed kernel + signed
initrd with scripted GnuPG verification hack. It'd be a lot better than
nothing if your target server has a TPM you can enable and use for
Trusted GRUB.
