3.37. kexec-tools
Updated kexec-tools packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
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
- BZ#1028595
- Previously, kdump did not support custom names for network devices. As a consequence, kdump failed to capture a core file on a remote target over a network if the respective network device had a custom name. This update modifies the mkdumprd utility to recognize bridge, bonding and VLAN devices with custom names, thus allowing to dump a core file to a remote target over such a device.
Users of kexec-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
