Topic

An update for kexec-tools is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

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.

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

  • [RHEL-8.5][fence kdump] kdump kernel failed with default crashkernel

size that "/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.6:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory " (BZ#2018861)

Solution

relevant to your system have been applied.
