Synopsis
booty bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated booty package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The booty package contains a python library which provides an interface for
the creation of boot loader configuration files and the addition of stanzas
to said configuration files. These boot loader configuration files are used
by the anaconda installer.
This updated booty package fixes the following bug:
- booty was not able to properly detect the GRUB boot loader during the
initialization process when performing a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 system
upgrade with the anaconda installer. This resulted in a grayed-out and
un-selectable "Update boot loader configuration" radio option on the
installer screen, and also in the following error message being logged:
"The installer is unable to detect the boot loader currently in use on
your system"
This updated package corrects this error so that the "Update boot loader
configuration" option is once again able to be selected, and the boot
loader is detected during system upgrades.
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
