Mandriva Linux Advisory MDVA-2008:069

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

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : initscripts

Date : May 19, 2008

Affected: 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

The bootsplash text messages were not correctly appearing at startup

(bug #38882).

 

The /dev/fb0 device was missing in early boot and bootsplash

initialization was complaining about it (bug #38338).

 

The shutdown process of network services could be troublesome,

because resolvconf would be stopped too early.

 

The updated package fixes these issues.
