Synopsis
initscripts bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated initscripts packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Server AUS (v 6.2).
Description
The initscripts packages contain basic system scripts to boot the system, change
runlevels, activate and deactivate most network interfaces, and shut down the
system cleanly.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, certain network device drivers did not accept ethtool commands
right after they were mounted. As a consequence, the current setting of the
specified device driver was not applied and an error message was returned. The
ETHTOOL_DELAY variable has been added, which makes sure the ethtool utility
waits for some time before it tries to apply the options settings, thus fixing
the bug. (BZ#1116295)
Users of initscripts are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
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
