The following major issues are fixed in this update:
Kernel Panic with Emulex LPe16XXX and Sun Storage FCoE Adapters
A kernel panic could occur at boot time if an Emulex LPe16XXX
FCoE adapter or a Sun Storage version of such an adapter was
installed and the lpfc driver was not updated
to version 0:8.3.7.10.4p or later. The version of the
lpfc driver provided in this update corrects
the issue.
X Window System Does Not Run in a PVHVM Guest
If you installed an Oracle Linux 6 Update 5 (x86-64) PVHVM guest
with either the Desktop or the Software Development Workstation
installation options, the X Window System was not accessible
after installation when you booted the guest into run level 5.
This problem was seen in OVM 3.0 and later. The workaround was
to boot the guest into run level 3 and uninstall the
xorg-x11-drv-cirrus package before switching
to run level 5.
The issue is fixed in
xorg-x11-drv-cirrus-1.5.2-1.el6_4.x86_64.rpm
or later versions of this package. (Bug ID 16280196)
