hwcap index 1 already defined as nosegneg

[amintaheri1]

Is this all normal and ok?
I know it says non fatal, but since it happened on almost every package I wanted to double check this isnt a problem.

please advise.

Please provide output of

grep ^hwcap /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*

Hi Leonid,

Thanks for your reply, here is the output of the command as requested.

We haven rebooted into the newest kernel yet on all boxes.

[lkanter]

Please remove two old files /etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernelcap-2.6.18-374.18.1.el5.lve0.8.57.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernelcap-2.6.18-408.el5.lve0.8.58.conf and run ldconfig. With future kernel updates it should not happen.

[amintaheri1]

Thanks, that seemed to have solved it. Ill report back if I find otherwise but for now please consider this closed with my thanks!

[amintaheri1]

Just as a follow up, this continues to happen, we install new kernels and this keeps happening. Can you please update your kernel installation process to remove the older files and fix the ldconfig on your own? Ive never in my life had this happen so many times until we started using CL.

[amintaheri1]

Just wanted to mention that this is still happening a year later.

[iseletsk]

That is because you still have a kernel from a year ago. The bug was fixed in lve 0.8.61.3 kernel. Remove old kernel, and you will not see it any more.
