Floating What?

Update a CentOS 4.4 xen instance to 5.4? Sure thing. I'll just resolve some broken dependencies, and then I'll be on my way...

[root@homeapps ~]
: rpm -Uvh procps-3.2.7-11.1.el5.i386.rpm udev-095-14.21.el5.i386.rpm e2fsprogs-1.39-23.el5.i386.rpm e2fsprogs-libs-1.39-23.el5.i386.rpm --nodeps

[root@homeapps ~]
: yum update

[root@homeapps ~]
: ps aux

Floating point exception

Oops.

Good thing I made a backup.

that is really funny - i like the udev especially. i had that problem once - but was able to reverse the procps and re-write the e2fsprogs to the root. That's when i realized that the floating point did NOT have an exception. Boy was my face red - I laughed for an hour!
