Hi Jurij, ok, this is going to be a bit lengthy... :-)
Here's what my system says: sun:~# file /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked (uses shared libs), stripped sun:~# ls -al /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3044 Nov 3 15:56 /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype sun:~# sha1sum /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype cb9a1b8e65a1bd3e8ab58a9affe7b4f32d7fcced /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype sun:~# file /lib/klibc-gZY_j4EiGiPMbozhciEvacptnN8.so /lib/klibc-gZY_j4EiGiPMbozhciEvacptnN8.so: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped sun:~# sha1sum /lib/klibc-gZY_j4EiGiPMbozhciEvacptnN8.so 01392ec3964d79152c4958b8a8095557702458d6 /lib/klibc-gZY_j4EiGiPMbozhciEvacptnN8.so sun:~# /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype < /dev/hda4 Segmentation fault sun:~# But what I meant with static vs. shared is this (note "uses shared libs"): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/klibc-1.4.30-sparc/usr/kinit/fstype # file shared/fstype shared/fstype: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked (uses shared libs), stripped [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/klibc-1.4.30-sparc/usr/kinit/fstype # file static/fstype static/fstype: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/klibc-1.4.30-sparc/usr/kinit/fstype # Another thing, that should probably be filed as another bug is that an ext3 filesystem that was previously formatted as xfs is still being recognised as xfs, and there's apparently a problem with FSSIZE: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src # strace klibc-1.4.30-sparc/usr/kinit/fstype/static/fstype < /dev/hda4 > /dev/null execve("klibc-1.4.30-sparc/usr/kinit/fstype/static/fstype", ["klibc-1.4.30-sparc/usr/kinit/fstype/static/fstype"], [/* 18 vars */]) = 0 pread(0, "XFSB\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\16\7x\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 \0"..., 1024, 0) = 1024 write(1, "FSTYPE=xfs\nFSSIZE=16174537324212"..., 39) = 39 exit(0) = ?

I don't know, how that could have happened (well, that means, I'm sure it hasn't :-) ). I was doing a fresh install over the net using official debian mirrors. But even then this would't explain the segfault when I ran the 32 bit shared version that I've compiled myself, while the static version works... Otherwise the system runs pretty well, in fact I'm writing this mail right now with Evolution under GNOME from Debian Etch RC1 :-) Here's the content of /proc/cpuinfo: sun:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo cpu : TI UltraSparc IIi (Sabre) fpu : UltraSparc IIi integrated FPU prom : OBP 3.31.0 2001/07/25 20:36 type : sun4u ncpus probed : 1 ncpus active : 1 D$ parity tl1 : 0 I$ parity tl1 : 0 Cpu0Bogo : 800.37 Cpu0ClkTck : 0000000017d78400 MMU Type : Spitfire sun:~# Can I help you with some other specs of my system?
