Berkeley DB error, repository broken

Hi,

I have been using subversion for little more than a month now, I started
out with 0.32.1 moved to 0.33, 0.33.1 and last week I upgraded to 0.34.

I hade no problems at all during these upgrades... until now that is ;-)

I performed the upgrade from 0.33.1 to 0.34 last week including the
dump/load cycle and things looked very well and work on the project
continued without glitches.

On saturday I upgraded the kernel (I run Red Hat Linux 9) as I installed
the latest kernel from RH as well as glibc and nscd. Apache appeared to
start correctly so I didn't pay enough attention :-(

Today I discover that apache didn't start... I recompiled apache and
after that it started again. But I cannot get into one of my two
subversion repositories! IE one actually displays in a browser but as
you'll see below there are errors in both.

Technical info:

- Red Hat Linux 9.0
- Kernel 2.4.20-24.9
- Apache httpd 2.0.48 with mod-dav, mod-deflate, mod-cgi, mod-so, mod-auth
- Subversion 0.34
- Berkeley DB 4.0.14 (yes the old one, I haven't gotten around to
upgrade this one)
- glibc 2.3.2-27.9.7

The error message I get in the browser is:
<D:error>
<C:error/>
<m:human-readable errcode="160029">
Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem
/usr/local/SVNRepo/leif/db: Function not implemented
</m:human-readable>
</D:error>

If I try svnadmin verify on both my repositories I get the error message
(obiously with differnt paths though):
svn: Berkeley DB error
svn: Berkeley DB error while get repository uuid for filesystem
/usr/local/SVNRepo/dvd/db:
Function not implemented

I found an FAQ relating to this error message, but I am *not* running my
own kernel, i use one created by Red Hat. After readin the FAQ I went
back to the earlier kernel /2.4.20-20.9)... but that didn't work either.

Tomorrow I will get the backup tape and restore the repository to the
status from saturday which will hopefully work...

So, does anyone have any clues? Can I downgrade glibc and nscd (which I
also upgraded)?

Thanks for your attention!

Regards /Mikael Lundgren
