Greetings.
I just picked up a old g4/466 box to use for fedora ppc builds and
testing....
First, minor issue... had to figure out that I needed to hit a 'c' on
boot to get it to boot from the cdrom. Perhaps that should be added to
the release notes?
Once I got that figured I got fc6 installed and working with no
problems. Then I tried to 'yum update' the newly installed machine...
This resulted in a segfault in the libselinux package update:
Updating : libsepol #####################
[ 26/426]
error: %post(libsepol-1.15.3-1.fc6.ppc) scriptlet failed, exit status
255
Updating : libselinux ############
[ 27/426]Segmentation fault
Re-installing and trying various things, it looks like it's the glibc
update that is causing the issue.

[root@marva ~]# ls
-bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory
At this point the dynamic linker isn't happy and pretty much nothing will work.
Is this a known problem?
Am I doing something wrong?
I did find a really old report of a problem like this in bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119122
Any help or pointers will be appreciated.
