For the past couple months I've been working on finding a way to

given up because nothing seemed to work despite dozens of different
approaches. Then a couple days ago I started a new set of experiments
and now I have successfully cross-upgraded three different systems using
this technique. On the three machines that I used, all the configs that
I set up were still in place after the upgrade. The machines behaved
normally and I have not found any sign of problems yet. But, it would
be difficult to see how this technique could ever be fully automated
because it requires a certain amount of manual inspection in a number of
places. And it's probably something that could not be officially
supported. But at least it appears there may now be a technique to
perform a successful 32-bit => 64-bit upgrade. And for those who have
heavily configured machines this may be worth a try. Anyway, here's the
technique
Could you post this to the wiki? It could serve much the same purpose
as the Yum Upgrade[1]_ page serves.

When I have some time I'll create the wiki page for this.
