Hello,
I have a RedHat 6.2 installation that I would like to upgrade with the
RedHat 8.0 system libraries (glibc etc.). I tried the following steps:
o Saved the existing RedHat 6.2 /bin, /sbin. /lib to the following
directories respectively:
/RH62/bin,
/RH62/sbin.
/usr/i486-linux-libc5
o Changed the symbolic links in /lib to point to /usr/i486-linux-libc5.
o Copied over the RedHat 8.0 /bin, /sbin and /lib on to my RedHat 6.2
machine.
o Tested the commands from /RH62/bin. They work.
o Created new links in /lib to point to the new RedHat 8.0 libraries.
o Executed ldconfig.
o Now when I try any of the commands from /bin I get the error "ILLEGAL
INSTRUCTION".
o I cannot recover back my system anymore.
Questions:
1. What am I doing wrong ?
2. Is it possible to update system libraries this way ?
3. The RedHat 6.2 machine is remotely located and can only be updated via
a server machine due to security considerations.
I could create a custom kernel on my RedHat 8.0 machine and install it on
the RedHat 6.2 machine. This works without any problem.
Since I have the RedHat 8.0 kernel on my RedHat 6.2 machine now, I would
also like to upgrade the libraries to RedHat 8.0
Thanks & regards,
