• Removable storage devices (such as CDs and DVDs) do not automatically mount when you are
logged in as root. As such, you will need to manually mount the device through the graphical file
manager.
(BZ#209362)
31
Alternatively, you can run the following command to mount a device to
/media
:
mount -/dev/ [device name] -/media
5.11. initscripts
The initscripts package contains system scripts to boot your system, change runlevels, activate and
deactivate most network interfaces, and shut the system down cleanly.
• On systems with more than two encrypted block devices, anaconda has a option to provide a
global passphrase. The init scripts, however, do not support this feature. When booting the system,
entering each individual passphrase for all encrypted devices will be required.
(BZ#464895)

• Boot-time logging to
/var/log/boot.log
is not available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.

5.12. iscsi-initiator-utils
The iscsi package provides the server daemon for the iSCSI protocol, as well as the utility programs
used to manage it. iSCSI is a protocol for distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over
Internet Protocol networks.
• iSCSI iface binding is not supported during install or boot. The initiator only supports the ability to
log into target portals using the default behavior where the initiator uses the network routing table to
decide which NIC to use.
To work around this limitation, booting or installation can be done using the default behavior. After
the iscsi and iscsid services start, the iscsi service can log into the target using iSCSI iface binding.
This however, will leave an extra session using the default behavior, and it has to be manually
logged out using the following command:
iscsiadm --m node --T target --p ip --I default --u

5.13. kernel-xen
• Migrating a guest that is using the xen-vnif drivers as a fully virtualized guest under Xen will produce
a deadlock in the XenBus. This bug, however, does not present if the IOEMU driver is used or if the
system has no active network interface. (
BZ#555910

)
• On Intel platforms with VT-d enabled, the frame buffer of a fully-virtualized Xen guest with 4GB
or more RAM might not be displayed correctly. To work around this issue, create the guest with
additional memory (e.g. 2GB more than desired), close the guest, then recreate the guest with the
desired amount of RAM. (
