Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : D6 for Linux hosed?

I've always had excellent success running R5 on Linux, and pre-release D6 was pretty good also. However, with D6 Gold, well, it just doesn't fly. Initially I did an install over a solid R5 setup, the server launched OK and served NRPC quite nicely. HTTP, however, would only echo "Using web configuration view" and per 'sh tas' remained in "Initializing" state forever. (Make that 'forever, or until the next NRPC request,' because the latter would cause the server to bomb ungracefully.)

So I said to myself, "self, perhaps there's something in that old R5 NAB the server just doesn't like," and so I did a clean install (rm -rf /opt/lotus; mv /local/notesdata /local/notes5data; ./install), fired up x11 as my 'notes' user, and launched serversetup. This fires up three 'java' processes which have been keeping both CPUs 100% busy for quite a while now with no other visible result. I'm about to kill (-s 9) one of them.

FWIW, it's a basic RH 7.2 setup on a simple 2x733MHz CuMine, 1G RAM, ATA, etc. I have tried invoking serversetup from 60000/linux/, as root, with a different JRE, stripped down the PATH, etc., to no avail.

TIA,
Steve
