[Bug 427288] Re: Karmic i386 EC2 kernel emulating unsupported memory accesses

[Scott Moser]

I've just tested on ami-a40fefcd , which uses the kernel in question
that installing libc6-xen fixes this problem in ec2.

I booted the instance, then 'apt-get update && apt-get install
libc6-xen'.  After a reboot, I have:

$ uname -r
2.6.31-300-ec2
$ dpkg -l "libc6*" | grep ^ii
ii  libc6       2.10.1-0ubuntu11  GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii  libc6-i686  2.10.1-0ubuntu11  GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i686 optimi
ii  libc6-xen   2.10.1-0ubuntu11  GNU C Library: Shared libraries [Xen version
$ ldd /bin/bash
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7ef6000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7eb5000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7eb1000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d54000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ef7000)
$ dmesg | grep "\*\*.*WARN" || echo "no warnings"
no warnings
$ time perl -e 'glob("xxx*")'
real    0m0.007s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

Steve successfully debugged that /etc/ld.so.nohwcap existed and was
causing the problems.  After removal of that file and 'ldconfig', a ldd
/bin/bash will show 'libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/nosegneg/libc.so.6'

** Changed in: eglibc (Ubuntu Karmic)
       Status: Fix Released => In Progress
