Topic
An updated yaboot package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The yaboot package provides a boot loader for Open Firmware based PowerPC
systems. It can be used to boot IBM eServer System p machines.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, the yaboot boot loader failed when either a ext4 or an
encrypted partition was defined on the primary disk drive. This update modifies
the yaboot binary so that it accepts ext4 and encrypted partitions on the
primary disk drive. (BZ#755959)
All users of yaboot are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.
