RHBA-2008:0757 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated edac-utils packages that fix a bug and add an enhancement are now
available.

Description

EDAC is the current set of drivers in the Linux kernel that handle
detection of ECC errors from memory controllers for most chipsets on i386
and x86_64 architectures. This userspace component consists of an init
script which makes sure EDAC drivers and DIMM labels are loaded at system
startup, as well as a library and utility for reporting current error
counts from the EDAC sysfs files.

These updated edac-utils packages fix a bug in which the '--print-labels'
option did not handle uninitialized labels correctly.

In addition, these updated edac-utils packages provide an enhancement to
the labels database: the HP Proliant DL585G1 is now supported.

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated edac-utils packages, which
resolve this issue and add this enhancement.
