Re: Compiling 32-bit Debian Kernel on a 64-bit Debian OS on a 64-bit machine

Hi,
I am running Debian Lenny (64-bit) on my new AMD X2 64-bit Dual Core processor. I would like to compile a 32-bit Debian kernel for my Intel Mobile processor machine. How can I do that? I usually compile Debian kernel 'the Debian way' i.e. using make-kpkg.
You could set up a chroot-ed 32 bits Debian on your 64 bit machine and
compile Debian inside. For example, I use schroot with the following in
/etc/schroot/schroot.conf
[lenny32]
description=Debian Lenny 32bits
location=/Lenny32
priority=2
users=basile
groups=basile,adm
root-groups=adm,basile
aliases=default
personality=linux32
The personality line is important. This uses the personality syscall so
that in the schroot-ed lenny32 the uname call gives the illusion of a 32
bits machine.
Happy New Year 2009.
Regards.
