My original problem was that I had run ldconfig with a bogus LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable setting and that hosed up my /etc/ld.so.cache.
Matthias Hentges <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and David Z Maze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> both recommended booting knoppix and using chroot to run ldconfig so as to update my hard disk's /etc/ld.so.cache. I did that very thing and it more or less fixed my problem. I say "more or less" because when I was trying to fix this problem earlier, I had copied a libc.so.6 from another location and had it in my /lib directory. I also had my original libc.so.6 in there. What goofed me was that I had these libc.6.so related files/links: libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.5.so (link) libc.so.6-crap (file) When I would run ldconfig, ldconfig would ignore the original link and instead recreate the libc.so.6 link like this: libc.so.6 -> libc.so.6-crap (link) When I rebooted with that combination, I would get the kernel panic. Once I figured that out, I just removed the libc.so.6-crap and then ldconfig did the right thing. So I pretty much shot myself in the foot early on trying to fix this thing.
