Update your rpm version to RH 4.2-2, your db4 to 4.0.14-20 OR set the environment variable as a workaround to export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

Hello pepole,
I have an RH9, upgraded to 2.6.5. After I installed the new kernel, I was unable to install any rpm due to following error.
"rpmdb: unable to join the environment error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm no packages"
Now, I googled it about and found this:
http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/repairdb/
After following step by step the instructions I found, there the result was the same. The odd thing is that I receive this message even when I try rpm -qa as root. But if I try rpm -qa as average user it seems to work. Even odd is that when I'm using 2.4.20-8 kernel (the one which cames with RH9) rpm works fine. That's why I think this gotta be a kernel issue (most probably a configuration one, so I attached my 2.6.5 config file).
Could anyone help me with this?
Thank you in advance
