All I have on the livecd now since I started from scratch is a copy of the dev entries in centos. All the disc does is run init and load bash. The init itself is a bash script which just tells /bin/bash to execute I have all the .so files as mentioned in my previous e-mails copied to the relevant places. When I run the disc on any i686 machine it works but if I take it to an i586 it halts after the kernel loads. There is no error message, I can type things but bash never actually executed (remember this disc works fine and loads bash like it should on an i686 machine). I am using Centos 4.4 Server CD, it comes standard with an i686 glibc installed but I downloaded *glibc.i386 2.3.4-2.25 *and run "rpm -Uvh glibc-rpm.name --force" to install it over top of glibc.i686 I hope that explains it. The bottom line is the disc works on any i686 machine but not an i386. I almost wonder if somehow some of the i386 glibc .so's are not i386 as it claims?
