But excuse me I do not understand any thing, I'm sorry to disappoint you ,
but I'm not a Linux pro

Then I would try the automatic rescue mode of the install dvd. It might
work. Or the suggestion other people did.


What I suggested was the manual rescue. I can describe the procedure
briefly:

Boot from the install dvd, manual rescue mode.

You will need to use root as the login name.

You get a text linux console as root. Mount manually your normal "/" filesystem in "/mnt" -
ie, you will have your normal system mounted in "/mnt". You might need
to mount also the dvd somewhere, too, I don't know for sure right now.

Find the old glibc rpm and install it using:

rpm --install --force glibc....rpm --root /mnt

rpm -uv --old_package (glibc package rpm) --root /mnt

would be better I think. If you use install it will try and install the
old along with the new, better to replace instead.



You need of course knowledge of how to use a linux text console and
commands; that is too much for me to explain here. You have some help in
the SuSE admin book.
