Redhat and Pentium 4 problems


Hello,

I am trying to deploy Redhat 8 or 9 on a dual Pentium 4 2,4 Ghz with 2 GB memory and a hw raid.

Problem is that the software I am trying to install on the box gives me SIGSEGV's whenever I run them. This only happens when I use the Redhat distributions. I have to use either 8 or 9 (possibly in sub versions like .1 or .2). I suspect that this has something to do with the fact that some of the libc's installed are 686 optimized libraries, but I cannot seem to make the redhat installer stop installing these optimized libraries.

Strace'ing gives me absolutely nothing useful at all, as it exits before it can tell me what's wrong.

For reference, I installed a Debian and SuSE box as well, on the same hardware, and that runs just fine -- but they do not have these optimized libraries either.

I even tried it on a brand new IBM netVista machine, also pentium 4, but a desktop model, and that does not work either. I do not therefore believe it to be a specific hw problem connected to the server I am trying to install it on.

It is not an option to use Advanced Server 2.1 or other hardware :/

Have any of you heard of something like this happening?
Can I stop the install process from "optimizing" my libraries?

ANY suggestions would be appreciated...

Best regards,

Søren Staun-Pedersen

The problem was purely connected to the JDK. It had some locales which conflicted with the ones set in the OS.
Look at the JDK config files.

Best regards,

Soeren.
