The MacBook installation instructions contained pointers to some

focus on doing a 32-bit install so I've been searching high and

kernel.config for a 64-bit build known to work on a MacBook Pro.
I tried
creating one myself but it doesn't boot. Grub (0.97 installed via
"emerge
grub-static" per the handbook) displays my customized 2.6.20 +
mactel
patched kernel but the boot attempt results in a black screen and
no hard
drive activity. I'm at a bit of a loss to troubleshoot this.

Works perfectly for me, although I ditched 64 bit for 32 because of
ndiswrapper for wireless. The madwifi-ng people are working on getting
the wireless working and have a beta trunk in the works. However, that
(as far as I know) does not work with any type of encryption just yet.
So are you saying it is not necessary to have CONFIG_X86_64=y in the
kernel configuration file to get a 64-bit system? I know I'm exposing
my ignorance here but it seems odd that the kernel config you pointed
me to on the wiki will produce a 64-bit kernel when all the config
lines specify 32-bit.
