RHEA-2012:0232 - kudzu bug fix and enhancement update


Synopsis

kudzu bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated kudzu package that fixes one bug and adds one enhancement is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

Kudzu is a hardware probing library for automatic discovery and configuration of hardware.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Kudzu classified InfiniBand devices as "OTHER" so that the Anaconda installer did not recognize these devices and did not create respective network interfaces. With this update, Kudzu correctly detects InfiniBand devices as "NETWORK" devices so Anaconda can create network interfaces accordingly. (BZ#695388)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

  • This update adds support for Fusion-io ioDrive devices so these devices are now detected by Kudzu and can be used and configured by Anaconda. (BZ#717889)

All users of kudzu are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug and adds this enhancement.

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 This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
