Release Notes:

Notable Changes

The following changes are notable in this image update:

• Updates for bug fixes and security patches.
• Includes a dracut fix for a race condition if the root device is on Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and the VM has a paravirtualized boot volume. In such scenarios, iSCSI root device login was not getting bypassed resulting in iSCSI connection errors.

Note that changes to infrastructure such that images depend on can occur outside of the release of a particular image but could impact an image nonetheless. For information about changes that are specific to Oracle Linux images but which occur outside of the image release schedule, see General Notices for Oracle Linux Images.
