color=#0000ff size=2>I'm looking to use Centos4.2, but I have (at
least) 2 problems.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=518482611-14112005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>1. The stock glibc causes a performance problem with tls -
which I need to use. I know many people move the tls lib out of the way - but I
need it. Glibc needs to be recompiled with a magic flag (sorry don't have it to
hand at the moment) and currently the rhel/centos kernels are broken for
building glibc. I now have a patched kernel which seems to build glibc
OK.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=518482611-14112005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>2. There are xen patches to apply to the kernel and I don't
know how easy they are to apply to the heavily modified rh kernel? I know many
people use a vanilla kernel, but I hoped I could modifiy the rh/centos one. This
is on my list to do.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
