RHBA-2013:1628 - gpxe bug fix update

Synopsis

gpxe bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gpxe packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The gpxe packages provide gPXE, an open source Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) implementation and bootloader.

This update fixes the following bug:

• A DHCP server can be configured to use the Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) to boot virtual machines using the gPXE utility. Previously, PXE boot failed when the next-server details had come from a different DHCP server. This update applies a patch to fix this bug and PXE boot now works as expected in the described scenario. (BZ#972671)

Users of gpxe are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
