Xen VPS “4gb seg fix up” Problem

March 31st, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in System Administration

It’s a known issues on Xen based Virtual Private Server (VPS) that often it shows “4gb seg fix up” error messages. After a few search I found this command to fix it.

Run the commands below on DomU

First try disabling tls by renaming it to tls.disabled:

mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled

If this doesn’t work then try this command:

echo 'hwcap 0 nosegneg' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc6-xen.conf && ldconfig

after that you’ll need to restart the VPS
