RHBA-2009:1006 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
hotplug bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated hotplug package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The hotplug package contains the application which is called by the kernel
when a USB, PCI, or Firewire device is added; hotplug then loads the
required modules for that device and performs any appropriate setup.
This updated hotplug package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- the /etc/hotplug/scsi.agent script misidentified Reduced Block Command
(RBC) disks as enclosures, which incorrectly led to the sg kernel module
being loaded instead of the sd_mod kernel module. With this updated
package, the scsi.agent script correctly identifies RBC disks and causes
the sd_mod kernel module to be loaded.
- the /etc/hotplug/scsi.agent script also now correctly identifies SCSI
enclosures and correctly causes the sg kernel module to be loaded.
All users of hotplug are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
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
