Description of problem: When trying to install rawhide on a POWER 6 machine, glibc fails with: Installing glibc-2.8.90-12.ppc Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 719: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed! error: %post(glibc-2.8.90-12.ppc) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.8.90-12 How reproducible: Always (i think) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install rawhide on a POWER6 machine 2. 3. Actual results: See above Expected results: glibc installs Additional info: Apparently this is due to the fact that this patch: http://sourceware.org/ml/glibc-cvs/2008-q2/msg00074.html is included in the source base for glibc. The patch changes the size of rtld_global_ro when --with-cpu=power* is used to build glibc. The base libc libraries are not built with --with-cpu= set at all, but the power6 tuned libraries have --with-cpu=power6. There are two solutions: 1) Build the base versions of glibc with --with-cpu=power4 set 2) Revert the patch

Should be fixed in glibc-2.8.90-14, please check it out.
=Comment: #0================================================= When trying to install Fedora 10 Beta into a LPAR on a JS22 blade, system fails to boot from the installed disk. Here are the steps I used to do this : 1. boot LPAR from DVD iso image. 2. at yaboot prompt, choose linux (default) 3. follow the normal installation process, that is - configure disks - select timezone - select packages to be installed - ... 4. install packages onto disk 5. installation ends with a window offering to reboot. 6. reboot After reboot firmware fails to detect hardware. This is due to an empty PReP partition. When attaching the disk to a different to find out what had actually gone wrong I found a (at best) incomplete installation : - a lot of packages were missing - some were installed incompletely In the installation log I found the following messages : Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 719: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed! Installing zlib-1.2.3-18.fc9.ppc Not only for glibc but for a lot of other packages installed after glibc. I will attach a full log to this bug. In my interpretation the root cause for this seems to be in some problem in glibc on power6 and everything after that is just a symptom of an incomplete installation. So maybe this bug should rather be "glibc breaks installation on power6" ? =Comment: #1================================================= Jens Osterkamp <jens.com> - install.log from failed installation =Comment: #2================================================= Maybe I should add that RHEL5u2 is running in a different LPAR on the same machine without problems. I also have Fedora 10 Beta running on a different (QS2x) cell blade without problems. I conclude it must be something unique to this machine (JS22). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 467311 ***

What glibc version is the IBM report for? It's useless in the current form.
The problem was that hp-timing.h defined HP_TIMING_AVAIL only for power4 and power6 configured glibc, in rawhide ld.so comes from the base (pre-power4) build and /lib/power6/ libc.so, libm.so, libpthread.so, librt.so come from power6 build, which means ld.so disagreed on _rtld_global* offsets with the power6 libs. I've nuked the 32-bit powerpc hp-timing stuff for fedora builds, they are usable for RHEL which now ships with base libs for *.a/*.o only and has power4 ld.so and shared libraries in /lib plus extra power6 libraries in /lib/power6.
installed snap3 from network, problem is fixed, closing.
I found the same problem with Fedora 9 installation on a JS22 LPAR. Is it possible to fix it also in the FC9 tree? Thank you
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
