Ah, glibc update strikes again. Been there, tried that, didn't like it.
The fix:
Use CD#1 as a rescue image (type "linux rescue" at the boot prompt).
(b) rpm --root=/mnt/sysimage -qa | grep glibc
showed that glibc-common was updated, but both
glibc packages exist in the rpm database.
OLD: glibc-2.3.2-11.9
NEW: glibc-2.3.2-27.9
(2) removed glibc-2.3.2-11.9
rpm --root=/mnt/sysimage -e glibc-2.3.2-11.9
reinstalled glibc and glibc-common from the CDROM
they were under /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/
rpm --root=/mnt/sysimage -Uvh --force glibc-2.3.2-11.9.i686.rpm
glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9.i386.rpm
(3) test it out
chroot /mnt/sysimage
You will know if the system fixed if the chroot does not segfault.
Next time you patch, only use the i686 glibc rpms or use something
like redcarpet to do it right for you.
