5.7. Resolved Issues


  • In multi-boot systems, parted now preserves the starting sector of the first primary partition where Windows Vista™ is installed. As such, when setting up a multi-boot system with both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 and Windows Vista™, the latter is no longer rendered unbootable.
  • rmmod xennet no longer causes domU to crash.
  • 4-socket AMD Sun Blade X8400 Server Module systems that do not have memory configured in node 0 no longer panic during boot.
  • conga and luci can now be used to create and configure failover domains.
  • When installing the Cluster Storage group through yum, the transaction no longer fails.
  • During installation, incorrect SELinux contexts are no longer assigned to /var/log/faillog and /var/log/tallylog.
  • Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 using split installation media (for example, CD or NFSISO) no longer causes an error in the installation of amanda-server.
  • Shutdown no longer hangs when unloading iptables modules.
  • EDAC now reports the correct amount of memory on the latest k8 processors.
  • Logging in remotely to a Gnome desktop via gdm no longer causes the login screen to hang.
  • A bug in autofs that prevented multi-mounts from working properly is now fixed.
  • Several patches to utrace apply the following fixes:
    • fixed a bug that causes a crash in race condition when using ptrace
    • fixed a regression that prevented some wait4 calls from waking up when a child exited under certain circumstances
    • fixed a regression that sometimes prevented SIGKILL from terminating a process. This occurred if ptrace was performed on a process under certain cirtumstances.
  • A RealTime Clock (RTC) bug that prevented alarms and periodic RTC interrupts from working properly is now fixed.
