Hi,
I am unable to compile kernel 2.6.8.1 with EMT-64 support on my new
Xeon CPU. I am currently running a precompiled debian kernel
(2.6.8.1) with EMT-64 enabled. I have used the config file which
came with the precompiled kernel and removed some modules. When I
tried to compile the kernel with "make bzImage" the get the following
errors
SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
CC scripts/mod/empty.o
cc1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode
make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2
make: *** [scripts] Error 2
I then booted with an ordinary 2.6.8.1-386 kernel and tried to compile
the kernel with the same config file. This time the Intel x86-64
option was not present in the processor family list so I had to select
P4/Xeon. The compilation went off smoothly this time.
I will be grateful if someone can tell me what should be done to
compile the kernel with x86-64 support. Thanking in advance.
