Hi,
I run the above system, and everything works fine (except perhaps for
SELinux[1]). I have created a /etc/rpm/platform containing
'i586-redhat-linux'.
Well, everything works except for one thing: yum. Installing with
'yum install name' no longer works, I must now instead explicitly
specify the arch, e.g. 'yum install name.i58'.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Also, if I explicitely add the x86-64 updates repo, and only include
the 'kernel' package from it, should I be able to expect that yum
update will Do The Right Thing, or will I need to manually 'yum
install kernel.x86_64' whenever kernels are updated (or worse)?
Thanks.
1. Least, I presume this is SELinux related:
SELinux: initialized (dev binfmt_misc, type binfmt_misc), uses
genfs_contexts
ioctl32(mount:1503): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(80041272){t:12;sz:4}

I don't think this is a problem with SELinux just an unfortunate case of
being close to the error. What I think is happening is that the utility
that is trying to call ioctl is passing the wrong value into cmd. In
this case it is passing a command that the particular filesystem/device
doesn't understand.
