RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Hi,

Will this be fixed when this GA's?

Thanks!
George
Comment 3 Lukas Herbolt 2015-03-17 09:52:43 UTC 
Same issue in GA.
sg module is not loaded after update from 7.0 to 7.1.
Comment 5 George Yameen 2015-05-20 17:54:54 UTC 
Hi,

Is there any update for this?

Thanks!
George
Comment 6 David Sommerseth 2015-05-20 18:23:47 UTC 
Sorry for the lack of updates - we've been working on this one, but this issue has been tracked a few other places as well.

Yes, there is a solution on the way.  The issue is related to a udev rule which was removed from systemd (hence the change from sg3_utils to systemd) which was responsible for loading the sg module automatically.  The current plan is to re-introduce this rule for RHEL7.
Comment 9 George Yameen 2015-06-25 23:50:21 UTC 
Hi David,

Thank you for the update, can you give us a date for this solution?

Thanks!
