RHBA-2011:0160 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
gnbd-kernel bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated gnbd-kernel packages that fix module-loading issues are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8, kernel release 2.6.9-89.35.1.EL.
Description
The gnbd-kernel packages contain modules that allow the Global Network Block
Device (GNBD) to communicate with the kernel.
These updated gnbd-kernel packages provide a fix for the following bug:
- Prior to this update, modules in earlier gnbd-kernel packages failed to load
because they did not match the running kernel. It is possible to force-load the
modules. However, with this update, force-loading of the modules is no longer
required. (BZ#668518)
Users of the 2.6.9-89.35.1.EL kernel are advised to upgrade to these updated
gnbd-kernel packages, which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
