Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated grub package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The GRUB utility is responsible for booting the operating system kernel.
This update fixes the following bug:
- An attempt to install GRUB on a CCISS device may have caused the grub-install
utility to report the following error:
expr: non-numeric argument
When this happened, grub-install failed to install GRUB on this device, but
incorrectly reported success and returned a zero exit status. This update
applies a patch that ensures that GRUB can now be successfully installed on such
devices. (#742976)
All users of grub are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.
