running 64-bit kernel on 32-bit distro

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  before i try this, i want to verify that it should (theoretically)
work.  i want to run a 64-bit kernel (with 32-bit emulation mode) on
my 32-bit install of fedora core.

  as i understand it, i can use my (currently building) x86-64
toolchain to cross-compile the kernel for 64 bits, plus the 32-bit
emulation, after which i should just be able to boot the new 64-bit
kernel, is that right?

  am i missing anything critical there?  thanks.
