Topic

An updated kexec-tools package that fixes several bugs and adds various
enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The kexec fastboot mechanism allows booting a Linux kernel from the context of

binary and ancillary utilities that form the user-space component of the
kernel's kexec feature.

This updated kexec-tools package includes numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are

the most significant of these changes:

https://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/6.1_Technical_Notes/index.html#RHBA-2011-0736

All users of kexec-tools are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
provides numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
