Re: dual-boot 64-32bit



Hi Norval,
I think you are trying something impossible since demudi is a 32bit
environment an amd64 is 64bit so you have different executable formats.
What you should have is: two different partitions for / that are only
listed in /etc/fstab for the relevant system, i.e., the 64bit system
should only list /dev/sda3 as root, while the 32bit system should only
have /dev/sda1 as root. Moreover the lilo/grub setup should use the
corret root= parameter.

More important: you cannot share /usr since you have binaries in it. You
may share /home between the two systems, anyway.

You may have many swap partitions and you may use them at the same time
on any environment.

Bye,
Giuseppe
