I did exactly that several years ago with no problem. I installed an amd64 kernel at which point grub knew about both. Changed default boot to the new kernel and ran for a while. Once all was well I uninstalled the pae kernel.
I did it mostly because I expect that amd64 is the dominant kernel in the future. Although I haven't needed to, I believe I could add 64 bits as a foreign architecture if I wanted to run a 64 bit process. What appears to be too hard to contemplate is changing the base process architecture to 64 bits. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
