Topic

An update for kexec-tools is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

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):

  • [RHEL-9] mkdumprd fails to generate kdump initrd when /etc/kdump.conf contains "core_collector makedumpfile" without options. [rhel-9.4.z] (JIRA:RHEL-38352)
  • [RHEL 9.3] kdump nfs fails to generate vmcore on ARM Edge NXP i.MX8 [rhel-9.4.z] (JIRA:RHEL-39335)
