An update for SLOF is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
Slimline Open Firmware (SLOF) is initialization and boot firmware based on the IEEE-1275 (Open Firmware) standard, developed by engineers of the IBM Corporation. Note that this package is normally not necessary to install, because it is a dependency of the qemu-kvm package.
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 Release Notes linked from the References section.
