Hi,

I would like to run the standard x86 hardened profile on an athlon64
without any 64bit specific optimizations. As far as I understand it,
that should be possible, as the athlon64 processor ist backwards
compatible with all the x86 things.

Little note besides: it's a server without a pysical console, just ssh
and a netboot rescue system from remote.

When I install the hardened stage 3 all runs perfect. When I install the
hardened stage 1 all the bootstrapping and the full emerge systemn runs
without error, but the system doesn't boot up to syslog and ssh, so I
have not very much to tell, where the problem is.

Are there any known problems with x86 hardened profile and athlon64?

The amd64 hardened profiles are:
- nonmultilib: that means only 64 bit? So no Java (from portage) and no
precompiled 32bit apps?

- multilib is experimental: not the first choice for production server I
think.

Therefore I ask about the standard x86 profile on amd64...

- May the GCC-Flag "-mtune=athlon64" be a problem? But mtune should
generate complete x386 compatible code. And as I said, an emerge -e
world also runs fine.

Any hints are welcome.
