I would like to configure a 32-bit base system, use a amd64-k8 kernel such as the kernel-image-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8-smp kernel, and set up a 64-bit chroot on the machine. This mostly works. But I am missing something. I am trying to follow the ia32 chroot howto in reverse to install an amd64 chroot. On a freshly installed i686 sarge system I have installed the kernel-image-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8-smp kernel. 'uname -m' reports x86-64. I then installed an amd64 chroot at /emul/amd64-linux. In the chroot everything is working fine and I can run 64-bit executables. I would like to be able to run 64-bit executables on the 32-bit system outside of the chroot similarly but in reverse to the way one can run 32-bit executables on a 64-bit system using the /emul layer. But this is not working. I am sure I am missing something silly and trivial. I included the following as additional entries in /etc/ld.so.conf. /emul/amd64-linux/lib /emul/amd64-linux/usr/lib /emul/amd64-linux/usr/X11R6/lib I installed this symlink: /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> /emul/amd64-linux/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 I ran 'ldconfig' to update the cache. I can run 64-bit exectuables with ld.so. This works: /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /emul/amd64-linux/bin/ls --help But running 64-bit executables directly fails. This appears to not recognize the binary file format. I get a bash error saying no such file or directory. /emul/amd64-linux/bin/ls --help -bash: /emul/amd64-linux/bin/ls: No such file or directory I tried installed amd64-libs to do an A-B comparison. But that fails to function with a missing libacl.so.1 library. I don't get the no such file or directory error however so it is working better. As a wild guess I tried changing all amd64 paths to x86_64. But that had no affect. That is, /emul/x86_64-linux for the emulation layer did not work any differently than /emul/amd64-linux. Neither did /emul/x86-64-linux. Does anyone see the mistake I have made here? Thanks Bob
