Hi Aurelien, I am sorry to say, but I think the packages doesn't work as expected. I have installed your libc6, libc6-xen and libc6-dev package on my debian unstable system, where xen-3.0.1 is installed but it seems so that nothing has changed. I have checked that in dom0 and domU. xen is still warning at boot time about the segmentation problems and advices to install a special xenified glibc version or moving /lib/tls away. ldd reports for /usr/bin/mysql that libraries in /lib/tls are still used and /lib/tls/nonsegneg seems to not to be used at all. Have I missed something or have you an idea what's going wrong? How can I check why the nonsegneg version is not used? If you want you can have access to a xen domU (guest system) for testing yourself. thx for your help so far! --Ralph p.s.: fedora seems to ship a special libc6 for xen too. I got that from a recent mail to the xen-users ml: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-03/msg00697.html p.s.s.: the xen warning looks like this: *************************************************************** *************************************************************** ** WARNING: Currently emulating unsupported memory accesses ** ** in /lib/tls glibc libraries. The emulation is ** ** slow. To ensure full performance you should ** ** install a 'xen-friendly' (nosegneg) version of ** ** the library, or disable tls support by executing ** ** the following as root: ** ** mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled ** ** Offending process: chroot (pid=1) ** *************************************************************** ***************************************************************
