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.
