[El-errata] Action Required - Update your Ksplice Uptrack Offline client

[Errata Announcements for Oracle Linux]

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
