Andrea,
Thanks for the reply.
What options do I have ?
- Try and boot using the standard(included) kernel ?
- Try an boot using a uyok from a similar machine using a 2.6 kernel. Will
this
work ?
- Build from source on the 2.4 machine. This looks like the cleanest
solution. I have
downloaded the 3.9.6 tar source however I'm not sure how to build the
rpm's. I have
looked at the online docs " rpmbuild -ta tarball" however after looking
at the Makefile
I see a "rpm" target which does a "rpmbuild -tb". Also my machines are
behind a
firewall and can only connect to the internet via a proxy.
Wouldn't virtulization allow you to build both glibc versions on the same
platform ?
Thanks

Added a comment in the troubleshooting guide:

For now this is the best we can do...
