RHBA-2009:1403 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
acpid bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated acpid package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
acpid is a daemon that dispatches ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) events to user-space programs.
In some pre-release versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, the Hardware
Abstraction Layer (HAL) daemon was initialized before the ACPI daemon.
Consequently, this resulted in the HAL daemon preventing the ACPI daemon
from accessing /proc/acpi/event. With this update, the acpid package has
been updated so the ACPI daemon now starts before the HAL daemon, which
resolves this issue. (BZ#503177)
Users should 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
