vgabios bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated vgabios package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The vgabios package provides a GNU Lesser General Public License (LPGL) implementation of a BIOS for video cards. The vgabios package contains BIOS images that are intended to be used in the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM).

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, an attempt to boot a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO in a virtual machine was unsuccessful. The boot menu appeared but then stopped responding. The underlying source code has been modified and the virtual machine now works as expected in the described scenario. (BZ#840087)

All users of vgabios are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
