Well. I didn't know that there was to do it with all. Using the following steps I was not interrogated: # cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.32 # cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config # make ARCH=x86_64 menuconfig # make ARCH=x86_64 # make ARCH=x86_64 modules_install # make ARCH=x86_64 install But when boot, the process is interrupted with the following message: request_module runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c It draws attention to me that this has not happened after compiling after to have booted with amd64 kernel using the same environment (KVM VM with host amd64). The unique difference in the process was the aggregate of the ARCH=x86_64 variable with each invocation of make. Thanks for your reply.
