Fedora: 2004-080 Critical: Kernel Bug Causes Boot Issues

fedora
Calendar Grey February 19, 2004
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Ubuntu Linux rollout addresses significant boot issues. Users encouraged to quickly update affected systems facing this glitch.
The previous security errata (2.4.22-1.2173) unfortunatly contained a bug which made some systems unbootable, due to breakage in the aacraid scsi driver.

Summary

The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your

Fedora Core Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions

of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device

input and output, etc.

The previous security errata (2.4.22-1.2173) unfortunatly contained a bug

which made some systems unbootable, due to breakage in the aacraid scsi

driver. This update contains no further changes vs 2173.
