Hello everybody,
<snip>
Is it possible, to build an amd64 kernel inside an i386 system (with 32-bit libraries)? If yes, what additional packages do I have to install? Are they available inside the i386 distribution or do I have to download those from the amd64 distribution? I appreciate all hints and replies.
I have similar setup .To compile kernel and other stuff which require 64 bits I have debootstrap'ed amd64 environment . I'm switch to it by schroot .
If you have 1 Gb - 2Gb of harddisk to spare ,it is way to go. See http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html for details .I found that i386 version of wpa_supplicant does not work properly with amd64 kernel .So you might have use native amd64 version of wpa_supplicant.
Hope it helps Best regards Maciek Kaliszewski -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Masz czas tylko do 10 lipca. Przystap on-line do ING OFE! Sprawdz >> http://link.interia.pl/f1e54
