RHBA-2013:1713 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
grubby bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated grubby packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The grubby packages provide grubby, a command-line tool for displaying and
editing GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) configuration files.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the grub.conf file was not properly updated after a kernel update
with the tboot bootloader. This was due to a bug in the grubby tool which caused
it to improperly interpret the grub.conf stanzas that had tboot in them. This
update enables grubby to read the HYPERVISOR and HYPERVISOR_ARGS parameters from
the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file in order for tboot to perform as intended.
(BZ#991197)
- Prior to this update, yum and anaconda upgrades could have failed with a
kernel panic on the AMD64 and Intel 64 architectures due to the RAM disk image
not being found. This only happened when tboot was installed, and the kernel
"%post" or "%posttrans" scripts were run. This update adds the initramfs disk
image to the grub entry, and kernel panic failures no longer occur in the
described scenario. (BZ#999908)
Users of grubby are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
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
