Upgrading RHEL -> CentOS

[how_gauche]

Hi all,

The page here: http://bliki.rimuhosting.com/comments/knowledgebase/linux/distros/RHEL+4#post states that:

We recommend that RHEL4 users switch to the Centos4 apt repository instead. This repository is compatible with ours.

Please don't follow this advice! The version of libstdc++ that comes with CentOS seems to be incompatible with Xen, I upgraded and started getting "libstdc++.so.6: cannot handle TLS data" errors everywhere. See also: http://wiki.quantact.com/index.php/XEN_and_cannot_handle_TLS_data

Hmmm. We have done the RHEL4 to Centos4 setup a few times (lots) without hitting issues. If anyone did hit the issue then it appears there is a workaround. Let us know (via email or a ticket) and we could implement the workaround and/or see what else the issue is.
