This is actually what glibc prints when you try to use futex locks without
tls/nptl libc, iirc.

I _think_ this is something rpmlib should be checking for and not using, but it
may be that glibc provides no way to do that.

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2005-03-31 19:17:57 UTC

Checking is the easy part, been in rpm since RHL 9.

What to do after that is what is hard ...

Comment 3 Paul Nasrat 2005-04-04 09:38:11 UTC

Original poster - can you expand the stage2 image and see if /lib/tls exists and
if so what is in there.

Comment 5 Ricky Ng-Adam 2005-04-08 03:06:25 UTC

if I do a find / -name "*tls*" during install I get:

/mnt/sysimage/usr/lib/tls
/mnt/sysimage/usr/X11R6/lib/tls
/mnt/sysimage/lib/tls

But thats pretty much it.  No /lib/*tls*...

Install on FC4test2 with NFS install (ISO mounted loopback on second machine,
booted install machine, a Dell 600m, with FC4test2 boot.iso).  At some point
after the mid-point (walked away) but before installing grub, the installer
crashed to yield this similar message...
