kudzu bug fix update

Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated kudzu package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The kudzu package provides a hardware probing tool that is run at boot time to
determine what hardware has been added or removed from the system.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the presence of an unsupported sound card could cause kudzu to
list the available sound devices in unpredictable order. As a result, the
/etc/modprobe.conf configuration file could contain a line with an incorrect
"index" parameter for the sound module. With this update, unsupported sound
cards no longer affect the order of sound devices, and the "index" parameter is
now set correctly. (BZ#656926)
- When the information associated with a network device changed, kudzu
incorrectly recognized the device as a new one, even though its Media Access
Control (MAC) address remained the same. When this happened, kudzu corrupted the
Ethernet configuration. This update ensures that devices with the same MAC
address are treated as identical regardless of their associated information, and
a change to these information no longer affects the Ethernet configuration.
(BZ#656927)
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these
issues.
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 the Red
