oops. it's a kernel config issue, not a kernelcfg issue. Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
Description of problem: a.out binarys don't automatically cause the kernel to load binfmt_aout.o 'modprobe -c |grep binfmt' shows it is still aliasing the binfmt-%hd format instead of the new binfmt-%04x format for the module name. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try load an a.out format executable Actual results: [safeuser@localhost testing1]$ ./b.o -bash: ./b.o: cannot execute binary file Expected results: [safeuser@localhost testing1]$ ./b.o Hello, world. Additional info: This looks like the problem here: http://hypermail.idiosynkrasia.net/linux-kernel/archived/2001/week47/0765.html Does the kernel support a.out format or not? It seems that it is trying to support it out of box, but it doesn't seem to work.
