Edward, I just encountered a pretty strange situation: first some data: I'm running hardened Gentoo with glibc 2.6.1 & gcc-4.2.1 both with hardened use-flags enabled - my kernel running is a 2.6.22-based kernel with grsecurity and some other fine speed enhancements (ck-patchset, adaptive readahead, latest reiser4 patch 2.6.22-2) - this also happens with hardened-sources 2.6.22-r2 + latest reiser4 patch 2.6.22-2 every time I'm booting into that system I get a corrupted libuuid.so* file: it says things like: libfoo isn't an elf-file or similar it doesn't seem to matter if I'm using e2fsprogs 1.39 and corresponding ss and com_err or e2fsprogs 1.40 with corresponding ss and com_err, with booting I mean it only gets to that point and then refuses and reboots since it's dependent on that critical thing (??) other files also seem to get corrupted, I can't say which ones since it reboots pretty fast util-linux version is 2.12r-r7 it's strange to say but it doesn't matter if I'm booting the kernel with ro or rw on /root data still gets corrupted (where /root is/was a standard formatted reiser4 partition with mkfs.reiser4 out from a livecd with 2.6.21-based kernel with reiser4-patch from namesys if I recall right there's also no difference whether I use the old baselayout-1 or the new and faster baselayout-2 (for that I have to append 'rw' at boot otherwise reiser4 won't boot since it isn't recognized right) gcc-version is 4.2.1 hardened with pie 9.0.7, I'm sure this also would happen with other gcc version I'm attaching my kernel-config so that you might be able to reproduce it (hopefully) or at least get an idea of it since I need this pc right now I had to replay my system from a tarball to a reiserfs partition, so I unfortunately can't collect any further data Mat
