Synopsis
mkinitrd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated mkinitrd package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.
Description
The mkinitrd utility creates file system images for use as initial ramdisk
(initrd) images.
This update fixes following bug:
- Previously, the determination of the need for usb modules could fail for some
scsi hosts if the system had more than 25 and less than 52" hard disk devices,
due to incorrect matching. This behavior could render the system unbootable.
This update changes the pattern match to an exact match and the issue is
resolved. (BZ#644826)
All users of mkinitrd are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
