Issue

Why do I receive an INFO test failure when using Driver Update Program (DUP) packages for hardware certification on RHEL 7.0?

Resolution

Due to a missing symlink in the kernel-abi-whitelists package, the RPM tool cannot find the required kABI whitelist, causing a failure in the INFO test when the DUP module is analyzed. A workaround for this issue is to create a symlink as follows:

# ln -s /lib/modules/kabi-rhel70 /lib/modules/kabi-current

A fix for this issue is being evaluated for inclusion in RHEL 7.1. Further information can be found in Red Hat Bugzilla bug 1126086.
