AW: AW: Status of FailSafe on RH7.2 with GLIBC 2.2.4

At what point in the setup process do things hang for you? I've just finished getting all the stuff compiled on redhat (using gcc3.0.4 except for fam, had to use egcs for that one).

Just started guided config, and completed definition of both nodes; no problems so far. OK, now I've gotta recomile failsafe-mgr again - forgot to remove the /dev restriction for thedevice name and so can't correctly define a stonith systemcontroller using the gui.

I'm using blackdown JDK (jdk118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2) (thanks for the tip, oliver - using this instead of the IBM jdk really helped!) both for compiling and running failsafe. All fixes/updates from redhat are installed. I didn't set any extra environment variables for compiling (or at runtime).

Let's see what I can break with a few aditional rounds of testing :-)

Bye, Martin
