RHBA-2007:0478 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gnbd-kmod packages that fix module loading issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, kernel release
2.6.18-8.1.6.el5.

Description

The gnbd-kmod package contains modules that allow the gnbd (GFS Network
Block Device) to communicate with the kernel.

These updated gnbd-kmod packages are in sync with the latest kernel
(2.6.18-8.1.6.el5). The modules in earlier gnbd-kmod packages failed to
load because they did not match the running kernel. It was possible to
force load the modules: with this update, however, users no longer need to.

Users are advised to upgrade to these latest gnbd-kmod packages, which
are updated for use with the 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 kernel.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
