RHBA-2011:1491 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
mkinitrd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated mkinitrd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The mkinitrd utility creates file system images for use as initial RAM disk
(initrd) images.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Due to an incomplete regular expression in the code, the mkinitrd utility did
not recognize multipath devices located in the /dev/mpath/ directory. As a
consequence, the system could not boot if such a multipath device contained the
root file system. With this update, the regular expression has been corrected,
and mkinitrd now correctly recognizes multipath devices in the /dev/mpath/
directory. (BZ#753693)
All users of mkinitrd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
