Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

As there is no Tribe 1 for PPC, I downloaded the Daily Build (20070615) of the alternate install CD. MD5 sums were ok, but the alternate fails to boot with a kernel panic.

/bin/sh: symbol lookup error: /lib/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: _rtld_global
[267.868229] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[267.868438] Rebooting in 180 seconds..

Tested the CD on an iBook G4 800 Mhz:

processor : 0
cpu : 7455, altivec supported
clock : 606.000000MHz

This is not a kernel bug, it's something wrong with your filesystem or the libc.so.6 file itself.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.22:

This blocking bug is coming from upstream Debian (tested yesterday), so I also entered it there: Bug#429985
