Good afternoon, all,

I tried to boot an fc4 VM ( http://www.stearns.org/uml-root/ )on zaphod. I compiled 2.6.12-mm1-um26121_20050627 at Jeff's suggestion, and still get:

Setting hostname placeholder.stearns.org:  [  OK  ]
set_thread_area failed when setting up thread-local storage

It doesn't appear that any of the patches in Jeff's current 2.6 quilt patch set refer to set_thread_area (Although I could believe that one of them addresses it indirectly so the string doesn't show up in the patches.) Even adding LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 to the end of the kernel command line (which, according to doc/kernel-parameters.txt passes that environment variable on to the environment inside the VM) doesn't help. LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 on the kernel command line also exhibits set_thread_area failed.... I've also tried disabling nptl from userspace with the following added lines:

/etc/profile.d/glibc.sh
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19

/etc/init.d/functions
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19

/etc/initscript : (make mode 755)
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
eval exec "$4"

        Still hitting that set_thread_area error.

        Is there _any_ way to convince an fc4 userspace to not use NPTL?

Oops, forgot to mention that I already have renamed /lib/tls (already done in stock dowmloadable root_fs....) and /usr/lib/tls (not done in downloadable root_fs, but done by hand here.

Yes, it's indicated on the FC4 release notes, I already posted this link
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/).

I tried adding the following line to /etc/profile.d/glibc.sh, /etc/init.d/functions, and /etc/initscript (skipped {,64} because this is 32 bit only):
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/obsolete/linuxthreads

        and I still get:

Blaisor, was there some other piece of that release note you were referring to?

I've also tried, in addition to the three system files above, adding the "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/obsolete/linuxthreads" to the end of the kernel command line. Same problem.
        Cheers,
