Thank you very much for your answer. You are right. Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION solved the problem. I switched from hardened kernel to gentoo standard kernel some time ago and just forget to compile it with that option. IIRC I build a multilib system many years ago because of grub. But maybe I don't need multilib anymore. How can I find out if I have x86 binaries installed? -- Regards wabe
