 Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 2:46 pm Post subject: Kernel Panic when attempting to load libimf.so |
 |
|
I get an error very similar if not exactly the same as: "/sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: libimf.so: cannot open object file: no such file or directory
kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!"
I've compiled much of the system with icc as directed by the Gentoo Portage & ICC guide.
The kernel was compiled with gcc, not icc.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that'd be great. |

I did an "emerge -e world" and recompiled my kernel, but to no avail.
I appreciate all the help you guys've been... |

It's not a kernel problem. The /sbin/init program requires libimf.so (it seems to be an Intel math library, probably installed with icc), but does not find it, so it crashes. Since the init process is not allowed to die, you get the kernel error. But the real problem is the missing libimf.so.
Apparently it should be in /opt/intel/compiler80/lib. So check it's there, then check that /opt is not on a separate partition (because init runs before additional partitions are mounted), then check that the "/opt/intel/compiler80/lib" is in /etc/ld.so.conf. |

Ahh, the problem was that /opt was on a separate partition. Thanks, I don't know how long that would have taken me to figure this out. If there are no objections, I'll add a note to the gentoo wiki about this particular issue.
widan: Thanks again  |
