Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 7)

#ntpdate adedd05p
ntpdate: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[root@tacld173p profile.d]# rpm -q --whatprovides librpm-4.2.so

[root@tacld173p profile.d]# rpm -qa|grep -i librpm
rpm: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am getting those alerts after an unplanned reboot. Any one faced the same error earlier

I think that it's time to boot in emergency mode and run fsck to your root file system.

All that library files are in /usr/lib. Post the results of

ls -la /usr/lib/

# ls -la /usr/lib|wc -l
1018
On a working system we see around 1094 files..

I see lot of FS error too

This looks like a serious problem. Â¿Are you using a hardware RAID? Â¿Is your hardware RAID sane? You do need to fsck your file systems.

fsck is ok all FS after getting to rescue mode. (after selecting SKIP) option. But the continue and read only options are only able to mount /mnt/sysimage or , /mnt/sysimage/boot and /mnt/sysimage/home . Rest i could mount manually.So all LVs are able to mount RW manually

#chroot /mnt/sysimage failing with "segmentation fault"..Any more idea

Dwar Santhosh Kumar Theyyan. How did you repair this problem?. I have the same librpm-4.2.so problem and the files are present in the lib/ directory

mine was a corrupted file system and not in a position to boot and do fsck. I would recommend tp go with the error "libreadline.so.4:" and find the cause as i think your scenario may be entirely diffrent.

My Problem is very different, i get this error when Oracle EL 5 boot in a new fresh installation (this is the 64 bit version the 32 bit version runs wells) in our Proliant ML 150 Server.

Thank you for the reply anyway.
