[ALBA-2021:3052] kexec-tools bug fix and enhancement update
Type:
bugfix
Severity:
none
Release date:
2021-08-10
Description:
The kexec-tools packages contain the /sbin/kexec binary and utilities that together form the user-space component of the kernel's kexec feature. The /sbin/kexec binary facilitates a new kernel to boot using the kernel's kexec feature either on a normal or a panic reboot. The kexec fastboot mechanism allows booting a Linux kernel from the context of an already running kernel. Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s): * kdump initrd generation fails if /boot not writable (BZ#1976252)
Updated packages:
  • kexec-tools-2.0.20-46.el8_4.2.x86_64.rpm
