Topic

Updated system-config-kdump packages that fix three bugs and add one enhancement
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The system-config-kdump packages provide a graphical tool to configure kernel
crash dumping via kdump and kexec.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • An attempt to use system-config-kdump on the IBM System z machines caused an

error message to appear. As a consequence, users were unable to choose the
specific kernel. This bug has been fixed and the user can choose the required
kernel in this situation. (BZ#811104)

  • On IBM PowerPC computers, the system-config-kdump tool used the first

crashkernel parameter instead of the last one and a traceback was returned when
crashkernel value was set to "auto". With this update, system-config-kdump uses
the last crashkernel parameter and allows this parameter to be set to "auto". As
a result, tracebacks are no longer returned in the described scenario.
(BZ#829386)

  • Because some actions take longer time to finish, and the return timeout value

was set too low, the front end did not receive an answer in an appropriate time,
and displayed an error message. The return timeout has been set to 5 minutes and
system-config-kdump works as expected now. (BZ#858280)

This update also adds the following enhancement:

  • This enhancements adds support for firmware-assisted dump (fadump) for IBM

PowerPC computers. The user is now also allowed to choose between kdump and
fadump. (BZ#852766)

All users of system-config-kdump are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix these bugs and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure 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
