RHBA-2013:0617 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
kexec-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated kexec-tools packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The kexec fastboot mechanism allows booting a Linux kernel from the context of
an already running kernel. The kexec-tools package provides the /sbin/kexec
binary and ancillary utilities that form the user-space component of the
kernel's kexec feature.
This update fixes the following bug:
A previous version of kexec-tools introduced a regression whereby kdump called
findmodule for the ext[234] dump target, but ext2 was built in the kernel. This
caused the mkdumprd utility, which creates an initial RAM file system for use in
conjunction with the booting of a kernel within the kdump framework for crash
recovery, to fail with a "No module ext2 found" error message. This patch fixes
this problem by removing ext2 from the findmodule list and these failures no
longer occur. (BZ#915359)
Users of kexec-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
