Subject: [gentoo-amd64] Mixing Architectures... AMD64 bit kernel on 32bit build.
Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2005 20:59:23 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1130572763.8213.4.camel@localhost> (raw)

Hi all,

quick question about mixing archs.

Can I safely put a 64bit compiled kernel image into /boot/ along
with /lib/modules<version> and the source in /usr/src/<version>

into a fully 32bit image? 

If so what other utilities on the system NEED to be 64bit for this to
work? 

I have a 32bit precooked image I use, and have dumped it onto a Turion
laptop (see http://aenertia.net/megabook_m635.html for coverage). 

I am getting alot of issues with IRQ and USB f$%#ups. And am wondering
if a native 64bit kernel will help. But want to know if I can simply
drop an am64 kernel into the middle of a 32bit environment and have it
boot? 

What is the easiest route for me to do this based on the above linked
report.

Kind regards



Joel W


P.S any help with this laptop would be appreciated.
