I'm afraid I'm not 100% sure what you mean by host setup, but as I mentioned I'm using Fedora Core 3 for the host and uml, and FC3 comes with glibc 2.3.4. I had the same problem with a Fedora Core 2 host/uml and that was using glibc 2.3.3. However I had a Fedora Core 1 host/uml setup that didn't have this problem and it used a 2.4 series kernel with glibc 2.3.2. Is this enough info? I can give you access to my uml kernel and rootfs if that would be of more help in tracking down this problem. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
