RHBA-2013:1576 - Bug Fix Advisory

标题

Updated kexec-tools packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

描述

The kexec-tools packages contain the /sbin/kexec binary and utilities that
together form the user-space component of the kernel's kexec feature. The
/sbin/kexec binary facilitates a new kernel to boot using the kernel's kexec
feature either on a normal or a panic reboot. The kexec fastboot mechanism
allows booting a Linux kernel from the context of an already running kernel.

These updated kexec-tools packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are
directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Technical Notes for information on
the most significant of these changes:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.5_Technical_Notes/kexec-tools.html#RHBA-2013-1576

All kexec-tools users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs and add this enhancement.
