I did the same thing and even grabbed the files from the same ftp When rpm was updating, there were two script failures, reboot. I'm hosed.

What's the command to revert back to the older version of glibc?
You need rpms for packages you want to revert and then rpm -Uvh --oldpackage
<list_of_rpm_files_with_packages_you_want_here> In a case of glibc do not foreget about 'nscd' package if you have that installed.
In general 'rpm --help | less' and look at results.

Thanks - that fixed it for me (OP).
FYI I went here: ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/fedora/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS
and got: glibc-devel-2.5-3.i386.rpm nscd-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-headers-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-utils-2.5-3.i386.rpm
then: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage glibc*.rpm nscd*.rpm
that fixed it.
Death before Decaf!!!

When you all are grabbing the older glibc to reinstall it, are you grabbing the one for your arch? As in i686 instead of the 386? Don't know if that is the problem but it might be.

The version that bombs after the upgrade is i686. As you noted though, it would not be too difficult to grab the i386 version when downgrading manually with rpm. It sounds possible that the hosed systems might have i386 versions on by mistake.
Still waiting for a glibc fix since X and sendmail are unhappy with the latest version.
