Bug Fix Advisory - RHBA-2004:275-05
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Updated kernel-utils package adds salinfo for Itanium

An updated kernel-utils package that adds salinfo on Itanium systems is
now available.

Description:
The kernel-utils package contains several utilities that can be used to
control the kernel of machine hardware. Included are:
* dmidecode - gives information about the bios and motherboard revisisons
* microcode_ctl - updates the microcode on Intel cpu's
* smartctl - monitor the health of your disks

This updated package adds a new utility to kernel-utils on Itanium
platforms. The salinfo utility reads and processes Itanium SAL error records.

On some platforms, SAL errors are persistent until they are cleared by
reading them.  Without a daemon to do so, and if a second error is
reported, the system becomes unusable.

All Itanium users of kernel-utils should upgrade to this updated package.
