This is the same hyphotesis I formulated:

[ #179 ] PGI - mklibs.bash seems to bork library simbols
http://devel.agnula.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=179&group_id=8&atid=117

But I haven't got time yet to fix it.

In the meantime I just switched over to ISOLINUX (which allows me to
put more things in the initrd and avoid using mklibs.bash altogether).

bye,

    ll> First, has anyone else seen behaviour similar to this? 

Yes, unfortunately. :(

    ll> And anyone have an idea how I might fix this?

Not yet, sorry.  But I'll work on this post Jan 15.

bye,

andrea
