How do i fix - 4gb seg fixup on debian (lenny)?

Some clients have had problems when upgrading their vps from Debian Etch to Debian Lenny. 

After the upgrade, some users have reported errors like the following in the output from dmesg:

4gb seg fixup, process imap-login (pid 28653), cs:ip 73:002d9226
printk: 152 messages suppressed.

After investigating this matter we revealed that this is apparently a fairly common issue with Xen domU instances, but it should be easy to fix by following these steps:

  • First, make sure libc6-xen is installed: apt-get install libc6-xen
  • If /lib/tls exists on your system: mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled
  • If /usr/lib/tls exists on your system: mv /usr/lib/tls /usr/lib/tls.disabled
  • echo 'hwcap 0 nosegneg' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc6-xen.conf && ldconfig
  • Reboot
