--000000000000360d1605fc423f8c Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" My month-old server has died with a baffling error. It boots to the prompt to enter the shell (default: /bin/sh). Entering anything returns: libelf.so.1: /usr/lib32/libedit.20.8: unsupported file layout As there is no way to enter any command without a shell, I can't proceed. This baffles me. 1. Why is libelf.so.1 being used? I thought that libelf.so.2 was used these days. The only copy of libelf.s0.1 is in /usr/local/lib. 2. /usr/lib32/.so.8? Why is it loading the 32-bin library? Can anyone give me a clue as to what might be going on? Can it be fixed. I'll be booting the live OS from the install thumb drive tomorrow in hopes I can recover the system, but an explanation of what is going on might help getting this working. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 --000000000000360d1605fc423f8c Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"font-family:tahoma,s= ans-serif;font-size:small">My month-old server has died with a baffling err= or.
