Mandrake cooker here... uname -a Linux lion 2.4.3-ac11 #5 SMP Fri Apr 20 22:10:41 EDT 2001 i686 unknown gcc --version 2.96 ls -l /lib/libc-* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1216268 Feb 21 05:38 /lib/libc-2.2.2.so su --version su (GNU sh-utils) 2.0 I don't think libc is the problem, unless it is in conjunction with the compiler choice. Have you tried building the kernel with the updated Red Hat gcc version? I know Mandrake has kept theirs current to Red Hat and it works fine for me.
