Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
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-8.10[ P11] HWcert - Kdump over NFS dropping to dracut shell on "shasta" backed NIC adapter. (JIRA:RHEL-94518)
