Hi Lluís, > The problem with the CentOS 5 kernel should be related to some > specific feature of the new glibc 2.12 version.
unfortunately, that is not the case. Red Hat introduced some patches that break glibc starting with version 2.6. There seems to be no way to fix that except for building with glibc 2.5 -- which is what I've been doing for the last 1.5 years or so. Newer versions of the Red Hat kernel don't have that problem anymore. Still, it would be nice if the bootstrap tools would work, because if they don't, then there is no way at all to install Nix. If they bootstrap tools do work, however, then it's possible to override the glibc attribute on all-package.nix and to build the entire system with version 2.5.
