Recommended update for perl-Bootloader
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for perl-Bootloader
This update to perl-Bootloader brings the following
improvements:
* During a kernel update, change the default behavior
to first try to use parameters from a fitting section and
have sysconfig only as a fall back (FATE#310946)
* Implement MD raid failover boot configuration
(FATE#305008)
* Improve compatibility with UEFI on Xen setups (bnc
#717828)
* Support more devices in fallback heuristics
(bnc#726209)
* Implement a fall back to retrieve the kernel device
name in case udev is not running (bnc#735073).
The update also resolves the following issues:
* Add 'root' option if no fitting section was found
(bnc#730405)
* Under some specific circumstances, an incorrect root
device might be written to the bootloader configuration
after a kernel update (bnc#730467)
* Speedup dmraid parsing, fixing an issue where
installing a kernel update on a system with many discs
could take up to several hours (bnc#750182)
* Makes the dependency on the Perl module Pod::Usage
optional (bnc#760464)
* Fix parsing of product files (bnc#757565)
* Fix disambiguation of section entry names
(bnc#765663).
