RHBA-2015:1431 - efibootmgr bug fix update

Synopsis

efibootmgr bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The efibootmgr utility is responsible for the boot loader installation on Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) systems.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, when the installation of the Generation 2 Virtual Machine (Gen2 VM) on the Hyper-V 2012 and R2 host was completed, the VM disappeared from the Virtual Machines list. As a consequence, the Hyper-V Manager could no longer load the VM settings, which rendered the VM unusable. With this update, the bug in the efibootmgr packages has been fixed so that the VM settings are accessible in the described scenario. (BZ#1151681)

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