I'd disagree. 32bit + 64bit kernel is always a good idea, and 64 bit
How do you do that? Just install the amd64 kernel and reboot?
Yup :)
Very simple, addresses a lot of problems. In production if a customer
purchases x86_64 kit that's what I deploy to them. You'll even find it's
in the i386 repos.
Thanks.
What if I want to build my own kernel?
Just build a 64 bit kernel. If you're building an i386 or PPC kernel
there is an option toplevel or one down in the config for a 64 bit kernel.
Not that I can find.
These are the only two archtypes i've got much experience with, and also
the only two that have a 32 bit subset instruction set that springs to mind.
I set the subarch to Opteron and, based on what I found in lkml
using Google, did:
# make clean
# ARCH=x86_64 make menuconfig
# make
# make modules_install
Still 32 bit. Do I have to do this, too?
# ARCH=x86_64 make
