eh? how is this a "sarcastic answer"? it is a statement of fact, the latest glibc depends on having a 2.4.19 kernel. It is an unfortunate fact that failed glibc upgrades are often not easy to recover from, since most anything on the system depend on it. Your best bet probably is to try to boot a 2.4.19 kernel if you can. Or, you may have some success booting into sash and running dpkg manually to downgrade glibc. as for 2.4.19 dying within 5 minutes of uptime, it would be helpful if you reported the symptoms to the parisc-linux list. "Forget it" will not help anybody.
