Here's the contents of mine: ==============BEGIN==================== # /etc/locale.gen: list all of the locales you want to have on your system # # The format of each line: # <locale> <charmap> # # Where <locale> is a locale located in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and # where <charmap> is a charmap located in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. # # All blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored. # # For the default list of supported combinations, see the file: # /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED # # Whenever glibc is emerged, the locales listed here will be automatically # rebuilt for you.

Which version of glibc is installed right now (It may be helpful to make a guess which kernel version should work). Otherwise according to the Changelogs of gentoo-sources and glic the kernel version was something around 3.6.x when glibc-2.17 was added to the tree. WKR Hinnerk
