Bernd, assuming the machine is still running, can you get it into "single user mode" by switch to "Ctrl-Alt-F1), log in as root, and do 'init 1"; change directory to where you have glibc-2.2.5-152.rpm (maybe you can put it in /home by itself) and then do "rpm -Uvh--oldpackage *.rpm
By being in single user mode you may overcome your seg fault problem, at least it worked for me in a similar situation. YMMV. (can't remember if we had to add a "force") If it does install, don't forget to do "SuSEconfig" [and I usually do a "ldconfig -v" too]
The machine seems to be running fine, except for the fact that I keep getting errors when trying to install anything. No go on the fix though! I'm still getting the seg fault. Other thoughts?
