Synopsis
etherboot bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated etherboot packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The etherboot packages provide an open-source network bootloader. Etherboot
replaces the proprietary Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) ROMs. It also
provides additional features, such as DNS, HTTP and iSCSI.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The etherboot-zroms-kvm package runs the update-alternatives utility during
installation; however, the chkconfig package which provides the utility was
previously not required by etherboot-zroms-kvm. As a consequence, the
installation could fail with a "No such file or directory" error message. The
chkconfig package has been added as a dependency to ensure successful
installation of etherboot-zroms-kvm. (BZ#714880)
All etherboot users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
