RHBA-2011:0270 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
cman-kernel bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated cman-kernel packages that fix module-loading issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.9, kernel release
2.6.9-100.EL.
Description
The cman-kernel packages contain modules that allow the cluster manager (cman)
to communicate with the kernel.
These updated cman-kernel packages are in sync with the latest kernel
(2.6.9-100.EL). The modules in earlier cman-kernel packages fail to load because
they do not match the running kernel. It is possible to force-load the modules;
however, with this update, force-loading the modules is not required.
Users are advised to upgrade to these cman-kernel packages, which are updated
for use with the 2.6.9-100.EL kernel.
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
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh [package]". Do not use "rpm
- Uvh" as that will remove the running kernel binaries from your system. You may
use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after determining that the new kernel
functions properly on your system.
