Synopsis
hts new package and bug fix update

Bug Fix Advisory

Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
A new package, hts, is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6.
Description
The Red Hat Hardware Test Suite (HTS) certifies hardware for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
This package contains the Red Hat Hardware Test Suite, backported to run on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6. When installed it removes and replaces the
Red Hat Ready (RHR) Test Suite.
As well, this package fixes the following bugs:
- the HTS usb test did not detect USB devices when they were plugged in as
requested.
- when running the HTS memory test, the compilation of "threadedmemetest.c"
failed due to missing dependencies provided by the kernel-headers package.
In this updated package, HTS requires the kernel-headers package, which
resolves this issue.
- on certain architectures, the "hts certify --test info" command failed
with an "Error: could not determine kernel RPM name" error. The search
logic in the "info.py" file incorrectly searched for the kernel name, which
resulted in no matches being found. This has been resolved in these updated
packages.
- on certain PowerPC architectures, the HTS info test failed to determine
the kernel RPM name, due to a stray return in uname output. This resulted
in an "Error: This kernel was not built by Red Hat!" error.
Users of the RHR Test Suite are advised to upgrade to this new package,
which installs the Red Hat Hardware Test Suite in its place, and resolves
these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
