Okay, I've narrowed it down I think. It's not a kernel problem it seems. I booted the live cd up and logged in. I used ldd to systematically compare the programs that work, to the ones that don't. I've found that all programs that produce an "Illegal instruction" are ones that are linked to pthread.so.0 I looked at "rpm -qi glibc" and http://www.suse.de/en/private/products/suse_linux/i386/packages_professional... and both say that this is an i686 rpm. Did you optimize glibc for i686? I can't tell because I there is no source rpm available. I don't think it would work on my system if that was the case. Either way, I think pthread is at fault. Jesse
