Hi,
I woke up Saturday morning unable to boot my freshly upgraded 5.6 with grub hanging at "GRUB". After getting the boot loader fixed I experienced crashes in evolution. Downgrading glibc to 2.5-58 seems to fix these issues. Anyone else seeing this?
Yes, this is a known issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693882

I have created some RPMS that should fix the gnome-panel and evolution issues.
Some warnings about these:
1. They leave CVE-2011-0536 (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-0536) unpatched.
2. These need to be manually downloaded and installed:
http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/c5.glibc-2.5-58.el5_6.2/
You can see which packages you need with command:
rpm -qa | grep 2.5-58.el5_6.2 | sort
3. These packages are signed with the CentOS Testing repo key:
http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing
=====================
Do not use this unless you have the problem BECAUSE they roll back a patch for a known escalation vulerability (which is why they are not easy to install).
You would install by downloading the RPMs you found that you need via set 2 above and use this command to install:
rpm -Uvh <package1> <package2>
====================
If you have already installed the Scientific Linux packages by Troy Dawson then you do not need to install these packages as the libraries are the same.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
