Subject: [PATCH] ppc64le sync grub.cfg changes to disk (#1212114)
|
|
|
56d25d |
|
|
|
56d25d |
After installing a new kernel, if a panic is induced, not all the kernel
|
|
|
56d25d |
pieces are on the disk (most importantly the grub.cfg changes). This can
|
|
|
56d25d |
lead to a hung system on a reboot because the older kernel can not be found.
|
|
|
56d25d |
|
|
|
56d25d |
Address this by forcing all the changes (mainly the fs meta data) to disk
|
|
|
56d25d |
before finishing the kernel package installation.
|
|
|
56d25d |
|
|
|
56d25d |
Tested by 'yum install kernel-...; echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger'.
|
|
|
56d25d |
|
|
|
56d25d |
Before, the machine would panic and on reboot be stuck without a grub.cfg
|
|
|
56d25d |
to read. After, works as expected.
