I've got a big endian kernel running for a new embedded board, and it
mounts the root fs over nfs.  I'm using the simple-0.2b packages as the
root fs.  At some point after /bin/sh is loaded, I get the following
error:

FATAL: cannot determine library version

The same root file system is fine on my Indigo2.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Pete

Seems your kernel is foobared.  On startup libc is trying to determine
the kernel version but both using uname and /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease
fail for some reason.

Thanks, that helped.

uname wasn't called at all -- only /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease was being
opened. However, I did not have CONFIG_SYSCTL enabled in my .config
file.
