Enjoy the addition 32bit speed. > > You are right - now I'm really enjoying the speed improvement between Athlon XP 1700+ and Sempron 3300+ BUT as far as I know myself I'll try to reach the limits. I opened this thread in hope that the migration would be easy and I'll need just several tips & tricks from you guys, but the more I read, the more scared I get. I learned that first of all I need a "x86_64" kernel. For this purpose I need a cross-compiling environment which I could not get following Vapier's "http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/CROSS-COMPILE-HOWTO" - it seems to be outdated. My second try was to boot from Gentoo's official install-amd64-minimal-2006.1.iso , but I couldn't mount my existing XFS which resides on stripe raid. In other words I need to read a lot more before asking questions on this subject here . Thanks for your answers and sorry for bothering you guys. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
