Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 Release Notes

Copyright © 2005 Red Hat, Inc.

Introduction

The following topics are covered in this document:

  • Changes to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation program (Anaconda)

  • General information

  • Kernel Notes

  • Changes to drivers and hardware support

  • Changes to packages

Installation Related Notes

The following section includes information specific to installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the Anaconda installation program.

Note

In order to upgrade an already-installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 system to Update 2, you must use Red Hat Network to update those packages that have changed.

You may use Anaconda to perform a fresh installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 or to perform an upgrade from the latest updated version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

  • If you are copying the contents of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 CD-ROMs (in preparation for a network-based installation, for example) be sure you copy the CD-ROMs for the operating system only. Do not copy the Extras CD-ROM, or any of the layered product CD-ROMs, as this will overwrite files necessary for Anaconda's proper operation.

    These CD-ROMs must be installed after Red Hat Enterprise Linux has been installed.

General Information

This section contains general information not specific to any other section of this document.

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 includes a technology preview release of SystemTap, a new dynamic system profiling framework. Users are encouraged to find more information and provide feedback on the technology preview at the SystemTap project web site:

    http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap

    Note that this technology preview release of SystemTap is not supported for use in production environments, and that SystemTap interfaces and APIs are subject to change during the technology preview phase. A fully supported release of SystemTap is planned for a future release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 now includes support for the Russian language via UTF-8 encoding.

  • In RPM versions 4.1 and greater (included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and later releases), the rpm command no longer uses the name of the package to determine what is being upgraded or freshened (the -U or -F flags, respectively). Instead, rpm analyzes both what the package provides and the package name. This change was made in order to support obsoleting of packages based on what it provides rather than package names only.

    However, this has led to behavior changes between pre-4.1 and post-4.1 versions of rpm when using the -U or -F flags to install newer versions of packages.

    For example, if you have both the kernel and kernel-smp packages installed and issue the following command: 

    
rpm -F kernel-<version>.rpm

    The kernel-smp package will be entirely removed, leaving only an upgraded kernel package. This is because both packages provide kernel capabilities and the kernel package is the primary provider of kernel capabilities because the name of the package is an exact match, which means that the kernel package obsoletes the kernel-smp package.

    Therefore, it is not recommended that users use the -F or -U flag when upgrading kernels. Use the -i flag instead.

  • The current ext3 file system limit in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 is 8 terabytes. The e2fsprogs package has been updated to adhere to this file system limit.

  • %%% https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167486 %%%

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 1 had incorrect partition detection code in the GRUB bootloader that led to installation failure at the end of installation on systems using I2O based disk arrays. I2O controllers comprise many different SCSI (and rare IDE) RAID controllers supported by the i2o_block driver. The most prevalent of these are Adaptec or DPT branded, but several other brands manufacture cards using this controller. More information on the issue can be found at the following URL:

    http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/rhel.php

    Previously, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users had to follow the workaround procedure referenced in the URL in order to install grub and have a bootable system. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 corrects this issue and now allows full, complete installation. Users who previously had a bootable I2O based system do not need to take action regarding this issue.

Kernel Notes

This section contains notes relating to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 kernel.

  • The diskdump facility has been updated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2. diskdump is an automated system that saves data from system memory in the event of a kernel panic or oops.

    The updated version of diskdump can now be configured to save partial dumps of memory, which can be useful if, for example, you want to save only kernel memory during a panic on a system with a large amount of memory. For more information, refer to the documentation included with the diskdumputils package:

    /usr/share/doc/diskdumputils-1.1.7-2/README

  • In-kernel key management support has been added to the kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2. This facility permits the association of sets of keys (keyrings) with processes for file systems (such as OpenAFS) and other applicable subsystems.

    This facility is enabled by means of the CONFIG_KEYS option in the kernel configuration. Keys can then be manipulated via the keyctl utility in the keyutils package.

  • The kernel shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 features an update of the OpenIPMI module. OpenIPMI is an open source implementation designed for monitoring and management of server and telecommunications components that support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) standard.

  • Kernel and user support for the audit subsystem has been improved in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2. The auditing subsystem can be used by administrators to monitor system calls and file system access for CAPP compliance or any other auditing requirement. Highlights of this release include:

    · Auditing is disabled by default in the kernel, but when the auditd package is installed, the audit daemon, auditd, enables auditing when it starts.

    · When auditd is running, audit messages are sent to a user configurable log file, which by default is /var/log/audit/audit.log. If auditd is not running, the audit messages are sent to syslog, which is configured by default to put messages in /var/log/messages. If the audit subsystem is not enabled, no audit messages are generated

    · These audit messages include SELinux AVC messages. Previously, AVC messages were sent to syslog, but are now sent by the audit daemon into the audit log, /var/log/audit/audit.log. If audit is not enabled in the kernel, the messages are sent to syslog.

    · To fully disable auditing in the kernel, boot with the parameter audit=0. You will also need to turn off auditd with chkconfig auditd off 2345. You can turn off audit in the kernel in run-time with auditctl -e 0.

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 contains the initial release for audit subsystem userspace services and utilities.

    The audit daemon (auditd) retrieves audit event data from the kernel's audit netlink interface and saves it to a log file. auditd configuration variables such as output file configuration and log file disk usage parameters can be configured in the /etc/auditd.conf file. For more information, refer to the auditd(8) and auditd.conf(5) manual pages. It should be noted that anyone setting up their system for CAPP style auditing should dedicate a disk partition exclusively for the audit daemon's use. It should be mounted at /var/log/audit.

    Administrators can also use the auditctl utility to change auditing parameters, syscall rules, and file system watches while the auditd daemon is running. For more information, refer to the auditctl(8) manual page. A sample CAPP configuration is included and may be copied to /etc/audit.rules so that it takes effect.

    Audit log data can be viewed and searched with the ausearch utility. Refer to the ausearch(8) man page for search options.

  • The iSCSI initiator driver and user-mode utilities are available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2. This software is based on the Cisco SourceForge project at:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-iscsi/

    For up to date installation notes and assistance, refer to the following URLs:

    http://people.redhat.com/mchristi/iscsi/RHEL4/doc/readme

    http://kbase.redhat.com/faq

    The kernel component is made up of two modules, iscsi_sfnet and scsi_transport_iscsi. Running the command modprobe iscsi_sfnet loads both modules. If CHAP authentication is used, the md5 module must be loaded for MD5 support by running the command modprobe md5. Finally, if data or header digests are being used, the crc32c and libcrc32c modules are required for CRC32C support. Running the command modprobe crc32c loads both modules.

    The iscsi-initiator-utils package contains the user-mode utilities.

    Note

    The following should be noted when using this version of the iSCSI initiator:

    · Booting from iSCSI is not supported. There is also no support for iSCSI configuration in the Anaconda installation program.

    · You must set up /etc/iscsi.conf before using iSCSI. Refer to the following URL for more information:

    http://people.redhat.com/mchristi/iscsi/RHEL4/doc/readme

    · The SLP directory service is not supported.

    · The DataDigest feature should not be enabled in iscsi.conf because the current driver may incorrectly report data digest errors when there is a large amount of file system I/O.

Changes to Drivers and Hardware Support

This update includes bug fixes for a number of drivers. The more significant driver updates are listed below. In some cases, the original driver has been preserved under a different name, and is available as a non-default alternative for organizations that wish to migrate their driver configuration to the latest versions at a later time.

Note

The migration to the latest drivers should be completed before the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux update is applied, because in most cases only one older-revision driver will be preserved for each update.
