Topic

Updated gpxe packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

Description

The gpxe packages provide an open source Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)
implementation and bootloader. gPXE also supports additional protocols such as
DNS, HTTP, iSCSI and ATA over Ethernet.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, PXE failed to boot a virtual machine which used the

virtio network interface card (NIC). An upstream patch, which incorporates the
latest upstream gPXE paravirtualized network adapter (virtio-net) driver and
removes the legacy Etherboot virtio-net driver, has been applied to fix this
problem. Now, PXE can successfully boot virtual machines that use virtio NIC.
(BZ#743893)

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