Topic

An updated efibootmgr package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The efibootmgr utility is responsible for the boot loader installation on
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) systems.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to missing support for 4KB disk sectors, an attempt to use the efibootmgr

utility to create a boot option on such a device caused the utility to fail with
the following error message:

Error: no partition information on disk [device].
Cowardly refusing to create a boot option.

This update adapts the efibootmgr utility to provide support for 4KB disk
sectors, resolving this issue. (BZ#612280)

All users of efibootmgr are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes this bug.

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 the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
