The last two days I've had freezes when booting up my old 6-STABLE/i386 desktop. It gets as far as kdm (3.5.2) which then freezes. When I reboot into single user mode and after I've fscked the disk (or apparently something that sounds very similar) I can't start bash: # bash /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.6" not found, required by "bash" However, the file exists and gettext, which also depends on the library, still runs! Forcing a recompile of gettext fixes bash. However, I only noticed this as a side effect of kdm hanging (simply because the first thing I do when I want to work in SU mode is mount -a && bash). First time it happened I recompiled bash and kdm started; this morning I tried it and kdm hung again. I rebooted and sure enough bash was complaining about libintl.so.6, so this time I disabled kdm, recompiled gettext and did a startx after booting into multi-user mode. Works fine. fsck is reporting no errors on /usr/local (dev/ad0s1e) I'm stumped - I can't work out what the connection is between the symptoms. Any ideas anyone? Thanks Ashley
