That is by design ... the i686 glibc will not work with the c3 ... the i686 kernel will.
yes, the i686 kernel rpm of course did work.
Oddly, when I built my own kernel (i needed jfs support), i686 didn't work, the machine rebooted pretty much immediately upon loading the kernel. Built from the source tree in the kernel-source rpm (whatever it's called nowadays), set the hardware option in the kernel config but not mucking with the compiler environment at all.
I rebuilt for i386 and it works fine.
thanks again for all your efforts.
