RHBA-2009:0048 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
kexec-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated kexec-tools package that fixes a bug is now available
Description
kexec-tools provides /sbin/kexec binary that facilitates a new
kernel to boot using the kernel's kexec feature either on a
normal or a panic reboot. This package contains the /sbin/kexec
binary and ancillary utilities that together form the userspace
component of the kernel's kexec feature.
This updated package provides a fix for the following bug:
- Kernels booted under the kexec system failed to map regions in the system
E820 map which were marked as reserved. As some hardware vendors use these
regions for various configuration data, some systems experienced various
failures during boot up. This update enables the mapping of all regions
marked as reserved in the system E820 map and therefore allows these
systems to boot correctly.
Users of kexec-tools should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
