Nope, trying to build a 64bit kernel.

Here is that result:

[reg at deneb ~]$ rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-headers-2.10.1-5.x86_64
glibc-common-2.10.1-5.x86_64
glibc-2.10.1-5.x86_64

[root at deneb reg]# !!
find / -name ld-linux.so.2 -print
[root at deneb reg]# 

Nope, not found, looking at my fc10 (32bit) this is a symbolic link pointing
to ld-2.10.so in the same directory.  Looking at /lib, thats not there either.

In a 2nd email, you asked for

Here is that listing.

[root at deneb linux-2.6.31.6-PPS]# head -n 15 .config
#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.31.6-PPS
# Sun Nov 15 18:49:16 2009
#
CONFIG_64BIT=y
# CONFIG_X86_32 is not set
CONFIG_X86_64=y
CONFIG_X86=y
CONFIG_OUTPUT_FORMAT="elf64-x86-64"
CONFIG_ARCH_DEFCONFIG="arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig"
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME=y
CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE=y
CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG=y
CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS=y

So, to me it looks like (at least) one rpm did not load, yet the rpm -qa shows them
as having loaded.  

I just went back and did a 
        sha256sum Fedora-11-X86_64-DVD.iso
and it gave the correct checksum, 
however when I did
        sha256sum /dev/cdrom
to check the DVD, it did NOT give the correct checksum.  
Perhaps I should reburn the DVD ?  Or is this not the correct way to check the DVD ?

In any case, any thoughts on my problem will be appreciated.
