[FC3] Syslog issue

[Tim Wunder]

I've installed FC3 with XFS on an old AMD K6 with 284 MB RAM and an 80 GB 
Seagate HDD. During the install, the installer froze when configuring GRUB. 
It pegged the CPU at 99% for several hours before I gave up and rebooted the 
system from the command line. The system did boot up OK, but syslog doesn't 
seem to be running.
All error messages are being displayed on the Console and nothing gets 
written to /var/log/messages.

When I execute:
# service syslog restart
Shutting down kernel logger:                               [  OK  ]
Shutting down system logger:                               [FAILED]
Starting system logger: syslogd: error while loading shared libraries:

                                                            [FAILED]

# ll /lib/libc.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 13 Nov  7 20:07 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.3.so
# ll /lib/libc-2.3.3.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1402592 Oct 27 18:45 /lib/libc-2.3.3.so

Doesn't seem to be a unix permissions issue.

Any ideas? Could this be some sort of SELinux permission thing?

Thanks,
Tim
