Re: [Xen-users] 64bit dom0, 32bit domU, glibc?

i'm using xen 3.1 and i have a 64bit dom0 and 32bit (PAE enabled) domUs

glibc during the domU boots.
No, you don't need to do that.
The TLS refs problem happened because 32-bit Xen and glibc both want to do
crazy things with the processor's segmentation hardware. 32-bit Xen needs
the segmentation for its own protection.
64-bit Xen doesn't protect itself using segmentation, so it's not necessary to
do anything to prevent a conflict with glibc.
That old problem also seemed to involve the libraries in /lib/tls. It
was easy to just move them aside to /lib/tls.old, and current versions
of RedHat kernels drop a little file called "kernelcap" in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/ that helps prevent the use of those libraries.
