Subject: [gentoo-user] Booting a Kernel-2.4 with glibc-2.9?

Hello,
I'm working on upgrading a very old Gentoo system for my work.
Some software is only running well in 2.4.x kernels, and when doing other
updates I inadvertently updated past glibc-2.3.5, and so now the 2.4 kernel
does not boot (Fatal error, kernel too old). Fortunately there is a 2.6
kernel on the system so I can still boot. I should have been operating on a
no-nptl profile.
Although I stopped the upgrade not longer after upgrading glibc, attempting
to downgrading glibc is just about the worst thing I could do. But I don't
really know what other options there are, and I've been Googling for hours
and hours and no solutions.
Is there any known workaround for booting a 2.4 kernel on a system with
glibc-2.9 installed? I thought perhaps if there is a way to re-install
glibc without nptl (assuming linuxthreads are still around in glibc-2.9)
then it might work, but not sure how to do that.
I'm very sad right now.
Regards,
daid
