Topic

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

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:

  • When the kmod-hpsa packages were upgraded on a running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 system that boots from a Logical Unit Number (LUN) controlled by the hpsa kernel module, running the mkdumprd command before a reboot caused an infinite loop. This update fixes the depsolve_modlist() function to resolve the dependencies for the hpsa kernel module list. As a result, running mkdumprd no longer causes an infinite loop to occur. (BZ#1403699)

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
