Customers using Ksplice Offline Edition on Oracle Linux systems should
update the Ksplice Uptrack Offline client to the latest version (1.2.12).
INSTALLING THE UPDATE
To install the update, please run:
yum upgrade uptrack-offline
DESCRIPTION
OL 6.4 introduced a new version of dracut which requires changes in the
way that Ksplice Uptrack updates the on-disk modules. Potential impact
includes the system becoming unable to boot into the 6.4 kernel.
FIXING UNBOOTABLE KERNEL
If you are unable to boot into a new kernel after upgrading to 6.4 then
do the following:
* boot into an older kernel
* upgrade Uptrack as instructed above
* run the following (replacing the string with the kernel version you
are booting into):
dracut --force "" 2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.x86_64
