RHBA-2007:1134 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
module-init-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated module-init-tools packages that fix a bug are now available.
Description
module-init-tools is a kernel-related package that provides utilities for
automatically loading and unloading drivers, as well as finding out about
drivers that are installed on a given Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.
The depmod tool is used to generate data needed for the modprobe utility
to automatically load modules. In previous versions of the depmod tool, a
bug in the update handling caused kernel module directories containing the
name "weak-updates" to be ignored. This particularly effected the Xen PV
drivers, which are contained in a directory named "weak-updates".
All users of module-init-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
