Updated s390utils package fixes tape installation bug

An updated s390utils package that fixes installation of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux via tape is now available.

The s390utils package contains utilities related to Linux for IBM S/390.

Currently, the following programs are provided:

- dasdfmt, which is used to low-level format eckd-dasds with
either the classic linux disk layout or the new z/OS
compatible disk layout.
- fdasd, which is used to create or modify partitions on
eckd-dasds formatted with the z/OS compatible disk layout.
- zipl, which is used to make either dasds or tapes bootable
for system IPL or system dump.
- zdump, which is used to retrieve system dumps from either
tapes or dasds.

This updated s390utils package fixes a problem during Red Hat Enterprise
Linux installation via the tape device.

This updated package also fixes a problem where manually added sections to
the /etc/zipl.conf file that contained the keywords "dumpto" and "dumptofs"
were wrongly included in the automatically generated bootmenu.

All users who require installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 on the IBM
S/390 or eServer zSeries machines via tape device are required to upgrade
to these updated packages. Users who use automenu and have dump entries in
their /etc/zipl.conf file are also encouraged to upgrade to these updated
packages.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:
