That makes sense. The slight difficulty here is that the "existing" 64-bit kernel, Debian stock package, kicks off a hardware conflict on my machine with my nVidia card. Maybe I can just run it in non-graphical mode for long enough to build a chroot and build a kernel in it. I guess that for *subsequent* kernel rebuilds, this will be easier, since I'll have a running 64-bit kernel :-) Thanks Goswin....
