Synopsis
initscripts bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated initscripts package that fixes various bugs and adds an
enhancement is now available.
Description
The initscripts package contains the basic system initiation scripts used
to boot your Red Hat system, change runlevel, and shut the system down
cleanly. Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and deactivate
most network interfaces.
Bugs fixed in the updated package include:
- the sr_mod driver is now loaded automatically when the system starts.
- /sbin/kmodule did not load modules from /lib/modules/*version*/extra. The
modules from /lib/modules/*version*/weak-updates and
/lib/modules/*version*/extra are now automatically loaded. Note, *version*
is the version of your kernel.
- the system clock shifted ahead from the local timezone when local time
was used instead of UTC. The hardware clock is now set before udev is
started. As a result, the system clock time should not incorrectly change.
- the network initiation script (/etc/init.d/network) no longer turns off
hotplug.
The updated package adds the following feature:
- enhanced support for VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD virtual LANs (vlans). The
network init script now correctly stops VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD vlans when
the service is stopped.
Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues
and add the enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
