Dell EMC Update Packages might fail to update firmware
on UEFI based systems
Description On systems configured to boot through UEFI, running a DUP to update the firmware or BIOS from the operating
system may fail.
DUP relies on a warm reboot of the system, whereas Linux performs a cold reset of the system while running on a
UEFI based system.
Workaround To get DUP to work on these systems, pass the following parameters to the kernel command line during boot:
reboot=k
For subsequent reboots, pass the reboot=warm parameter to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 4 signed
rpm installation fails
Description Installation of rpms that are signed with subkey fails and reports that signature is invalid.
Cause During package installation, parsing subkeys overwrites the data in the main key which causes bogus signature
checking failures and the installation fails. An easy fix is to make rpm ignore subkeys.
Solution
