Hello guys. Hopefully a quick question.
I would like to use some AMD Opteron kit in production with Debian. I don't, therefore, fancy tracking unstable with these boxes. :) I want to track sarge with these computers. Is it possible to : - install Debian Sarge from the i386 iso - using make-kpkg build a 64-bit kernel on the newly installed box for the AMD 64 bit platform. - build the packages we normally build from source from sources after booting into the 64 bit kernel (e.g. apache/php) - keep the rest tracking the 32 bit sarge repositories ... and enjoy a machine with the kernel and some of the apps running a nice 64 bit build, and the rest of the software running 32 bit versions? My understanding is clearly a little ropey, but I want to ensure we're not going to waste money on this kit if it's not going to earn us some performance increase.
