1. Topic:
Updated kernel packages are now available fixing several obscure bugs.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
Red Hat Linux 9 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
3. Problem description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
A number of rarely-seen problems have been discovered affecting the Linux
kernel:
- - A rarely-seen signal delivery race condition.
- - A rarely-seen race condition in updating page tables could cause systems
to hang.
- - A USB OHCI problem with USB speedtouch ADSL modems.
- - Several usb-storage devices were handled incorrectly.
All users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages.
Important:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 users must install quota-3.06-9.71 from RHSA-2003-187
before applying this update.
Red Hat Linux 7.2 or 7.3 users must install quota-3.06-9.7 from
RHSA-2003-187 before applying this update.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To use Red Hat Network to upgrade the kernel, launch the Red Hat Update
Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system. Note that you need to select the
kernel explicitly if you are using the default configuration of up2date.
To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh <package>" and
modify system settings to boot the kernel you have installed. To
do this, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the default entry to
"default=0" (or, if you have chosen to use LILO as your boot loader,
edit /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo)
Do not use "rpm -Uvh" as that will remove your running kernel binaries
from your system. You may use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after
determining that the new kernel functions properly on your system.
