Topic
An updated rhel-guest-image package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The rhel-quest-image package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 KVM Guest
Image for cloud instances. This image is provided as a minimally configured
system image that is available for use as-is, or for configuration and
customization as required by end users.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- The /dev/console device previously printed its output to the tty0 console
instead of the ttyS0 serial console as expected. To resolve this problem,
rhel-guest-image has been modified to swap output ordering of the tty0 and ttyS0
consoles. (BZ#1099462)
- The guest image provided by rhel-guest-image did not allow online resizing of
the initial root file system (rootfs). With this update, the
cloud-utils-growpart and dracut-modules-growroot sub-packages have been added to
enable this functionality. (BZ#1100286)
Users of rhel-guest-image are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes these bugs.
