Topic

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

Description

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.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, kdump did not support custom names for network devices. As a

consequence, kdump failed to capture a core file on a remote target over a
network if the respective network device had a custom name. This update modifies
the mkdumprd utility to recognize bridge, bonding and VLAN devices with custom
names, thus allowing to dump a core file to a remote target over such a device.
(BZ#1028595)

Users of kexec-tools 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.
