Kernel panic: init relocation error

Hello

I just installed arch and did the pacman -Suy to correct the e2fsprogs problem
When i reboot i got a kernel panic with a :

"init: relocation error: init: symbol optind, version GLIBC_2.2.5 not defined in libc.so.6 with link time reference"

Any quick solution for this?

Regards,
Seabra

Re: Kernel panic: init relocation error

Hi,

Did you install arch linux using ext4 partitions? There does seem to be a bug that produces a kernel panic if you use that file system. I don't know if it has been fixed or if it applies to your case-but I personally have had no problems with arch since i changed over from kubuntu.

If you did the auto install option then that would have created a separate /boot partition which would have been ext2, so my query would not apply.

Hello David

Thank you very much for your information
I did the auto-install with separate partitions altough i did choose ext4 for root and home dir as far as i can remember.But i will try to re-install.

Thanks

Re: Kernel panic: init relocation error

I re-installed and the same happened
Now I installed again and did just pacman -Sy e2fsprogs and now im not getting kernel panics but im getting ext4-fs errors during boot...

Not an easy task to get the system up and going uh? :-)
