Is the libc6 the only thing that you updated? I am using the same libc here, paer.debian.org also uses it in the sid chroot, and I am unable to reproduce the problem. No, some other packages were updated. Here are the most recent packages in /var/cache/apt/archives: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root

It looks like you are using a hand built kernel. Do you use the patch to disable LWS CAS debugging [1] ? Yes, but I've been told by Kyle that it's too old. Syscall 298 was added in 2.6.21. I haven't disabled LWS CAS. My attempts at modifying the kernel to return ENOSYS so far haven't been

I found really strange that this version of the glibc is using this syscall. It has been released 6 months ago, when 2.6.19 was still not released... How did you get this syscall number? It's in register r20 of the register dump that I posted. Dave -- J. David Anglin
