Also, after prelinking, the filesystems wouldn't umount at shutdown, but oddly they were considered clean at reboot. Oh, and I forgot to mention that when I rebuilt from SRPMS, I didn't use any flags. I just did rpmbuild --rebuild --nodeps --target=athlon. (Without nodeps, only a handful compiled. The dependencies were provided in other SRPMS, and rpmbuild would have found that if I told it to rpmbuild *.src.rpm, but for many reasons I used a script that built them one at a time and deleted the source. (That way, I could interrupt it and pick up where I stopped at any time. Plus, it rebuilt a LOT faster since it wasn't loading the memory with dependencies and stuff for all of them at once.)
