kmodule: error while loading shared library libc.so.6
 

I installed Fedora Core 4 and when it got to the last part, Post install, it hung at 50%. I rebooted it and had to use the rescue disk to install grub in the MBR. Now when it boots I get to the startup scripts and many of them fail because the executables can not open libc.so.6. It states permission denied. I checked the permissions and ran ldconfig and everything looks fine. Also when I boot up in rescue mode and do a chroot to /mnt/sysimage. The executables work find. I put a line in the rc.sysinit file to start a shell before running the start up scripts to recreate the error - sure enough when I run kmodule I get the error. When I run ldd on kmodule it gives me the following:

ldd linux-gate.so.1 => /lib/libiefjewkfelf ( I can't remember )
lib.so.6 => not found

I noticed there was no line in the output for ld-linux.so.2. I invoked ld-linux.so.2 and then kmodule worked fine.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Hi
I just had the same troubles.
First I used the rescuedisc, to get into the system, and switched the default runlevel to 1
(/etc/inittab).

Well, the system started in runlevel 1. First smile.

After diabling selinux in /etc/selinux/config I actually got the system running even in runlevel 3.

I hope this helps.
