Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated udev packages which fix several bugs are now available.
Description
The udev package is an implementation of devfs in userspace using sysfs and
/sbin/hotplug. It requires a 2.6 kernel to run properly.
The following bugs have been fixed with this update:
- CAPI device nodes were not created by udev in the right place.
- The cpu device nodes were created with another name than x86info is using.
- udevd segfaulted occasionally on AMD64 and Intel EM64T
Additional symbolic links for SCSI devices are now created under /dev/disk.
All users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
