kudzu bug fix update

Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated kudzu packages are available that fix two bugs and add an enhancement.
Description
Kudzu is a hardware probing tool run at system boot time to determine what
hardware has been added or removed from the system.
This update includes the following bug fixes and enhancement:
- kudzu's probing code for PCI devices would not properly find some modules
that work by binding to specific PCI classes, notably, the sgiioc4 driver
on SGI Altix systems. Without these modules loaded, the system would not
detect devices that depended on the driver. A new version of the probing
code is included in this updated package, which is able to successfully
find the affected modules.
- during SCSI probing, kudzu would open the /dev/st device node for tape
drives. This would cause the tape drive to rewind, which created a risk of
data loss. A new version of the probing code is included in this updated
package, which does not open this node and therefore avoids this issue.
- this version of kudzu includes support for virtio devices, for
accelerating Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 virtual machines.
All users should upgrade to these updated packages.
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
