RHBA-2015:1431 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated efibootmgr packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The efibootmgr utility is responsible for the boot loader installation on
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) systems.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, when the installation of the Generation 2 Virtual Machine (Gen2

VM) on the Hyper-V 2012 and R2 host was completed, the VM disappeared from the
Virtual Machines list. As a consequence, the Hyper-V Manager could no longer
load the VM settings, which rendered the VM unusable. With this update, the bug
in the efibootmgr packages has been fixed so that the VM settings are accessible
in the described scenario. (BZ#1151681)

Users of efibootmgr 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.
