Issue: If Host IPS 8.0 Patch 1, which contains a 14.4.0 version of the core drivers, is installed to the system when you install Patch 2, a system crash might occur. The reason is a problem in the 14.4.0 core. This patch upgrades the core drivers to version 15.0.0. But, the issue might still occur because the 14.4.0 drivers are still in memory and might cause the system to crash during shutdown.
Workaround: This issue is fixed in the 15.0.0 core. Once the system restarts, it must not experience this issue because the 15.0.0 drivers load properly after the restart. |
