Fedora Core: Yaboot-1.3.12-10 Update Critical: Bootloader Compatibility Fix

Updated package.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-692 2005-08-04 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : yaboot Version : 1.3.12 Release : 10 Summary : Linux bootloader for Power Macintosh "New World" computers. Description : yaboot is a bootloader for PowerPC machines which works on New World ROM machines (Rev. A iMac and newer) and runs directly from Open Firmware, eliminating the need for Mac OS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: Kernels later than 1.3.12-mm1 no longer provide symlinks in /proc/device-tree. Yaboot's ofpath binary had a check for BootX that would error in such a case, this update eliminates that check so ofpath continues to work on FC4 kernel updates. Impact is minimal as ofpath is not required to be run after the initial install. ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Thu Aug 4 2005 Paul Nasrat - 1.3.12-10 - Fix ofpath for 2.6.12-mm1 and later ---------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be downloaded from: ae803bca2df088183f8d6a07c200789a SRPMS/yaboot-1.3.12-10.src.rpm 87814fba0aa5bb1ecadb53eae6b7e5bb ppc/yaboot-1.3.12-10.ppc.rpm 9df0ddc59eb5a19f8c381c4075981269 ppc/debug/yaboot-debuginfo-1.3.12-10.ppc.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. -----------------------------------------------------------------------fedora-announce-list mailing list This email address is being protected from spambots.
