Mandriva Linux Advisory MDVA-2010:032

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : mkinitrd

Date : January 16, 2010

Affected: 2010.0

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

When a system uses dmraid, mkinitrd now calls dmraid command with the

option --rm_partitions. This option is only available in new dmraid

package, so boot will fail if, during an upgrade, initrd is generated

with new mkinitrd and old dmraid (#55427). This updated package adds

this dependency.

 

Additionally, two bug were fixed about drm modules inclusion

(#55676). First, when a drm module was loaded at the time mkinitrd

is run, it would be included even if it not in DRM_WHITELIST. Then,

when a module was whitelisted, all the drm modules for this hardware

where included, including proprietary ones).
