RHBA-2013:1775 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated grub packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

Description

The GRUB utility is responsible for booting the operating system kernel.

This update fixes the following bug:

• A regular expression in the grub-install program could not match multipath

devices when the "user_friendly_name" option was set to "no". As a consequence,
the user was not able to install the GRUB utility on a specified device. To fix
this bug, the regular expression has been updated to match the requested device
names. As a result, GRUB now installs successfully. (BZ#1034595)

Users of grub are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.
