If you only want to compile amd64 kernel the chroot will not be too big 
. Without X libraries it wil be (I think) 0,5 Gb.

I have defacto two full systems main i386 and chrooted amd64

amd64 vs "debian-users"

[Francesco Pietra]

It has been recently (officially) reminded that the amd64 list should
be restricted to problems specific of amd64. Rightly so and,
personally, I regret when I infringed the rule and promise to be more
accurate. However, I decided yesterday to unsubscribe from
debian-users because too much of my time was taken by deleting
messages from ubunty&kubunty, macs, and windows, which have little, or
nothing, to do with debian. I forgot to drop this message before
exiting the list. Hope it receives attention from here.
Thanks

Have you tried using sdparm?  Say:  sdparm -ivv /dev/sda

Little typo? I think, you meant "I do use a amd64 chroot". Thanks to Maciek for
the correction.

So there's a need for a second system. Then I prefer one system, which is pure
64-bit.

Re: amd64 kernel + 32-bit userland: compiling a new amd64 kernel

[Dieter Rohlfing]

Hello Hendrik,

thanks a lot for your reply.

> I'm told there are also cross-compilation versions of gcc.

I know, that gcc has some options to choose the target architecture. So the
compiled kernel code will be for AMD64.

But kernel code also makes use of common functions (e.g. strcpy, strcmp). The
code for these functions is taken from libraries, and therefore these libraries
must be 64-bit. But my system contains only 32-bit libraries.

If I shall do a chroot, I need a second system, which is 64-bit. In that case I
don't need a mixed system (64-bit kernel + 32-bit userland), then I prefer a
pure 64-bit system and my original problem is vanished.

When I need to do this, I do use a i386 chroot which I run with the

I have similar setup .
To compile kernel and other stuff which require 64 bits I have 
debootstrap'ed amd64 environment  . I'm switch to it by schroot .

If you have 1 Gb - 2Gb of harddisk to spare ,it is way to go.
See
http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html
for details .
I found that i386 version of wpa_supplicant does not work properly with 
amd64 kernel .So you might have use native amd64 version of wpa_supplicant.


Hope it helps

I'm told that the Linux AMD-64 kernel was already in operation before 
the first AMD-64 chip was built, so there must have been some way to 
build it.  Apparently they used the kernel to debug the hardware design 
in emulation.

I'm told there are also cross-compilation versions of gcc.

amd64 kernel + 32-bit userland: compiling a new amd64 kernel

[Dieter Rohlfing]

Hello everybody,

when I got my new Dell Latitude D830 (1 GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo T7250) a few
months ago, I installed the 32-bit version of Debian-Lenny (kernel and userland
i386-architecture).

A few weeks ago I upgraded the laptop with 3 GB RAM, so now it has a total of 4
GB RAM. Under the i386 kernel the command free shows about 3.5 GB available
memory, so I lost about 0.5 GB RAM due to the i386 architecture.

Therefore I installed the amd64 kernel, which is part of the i386 distribution.
Now free shows 4048 MB available memory. So, now I have a completely i386
userland and an amd64 kernel.

In order to build a customized new amd64 kernel I guess, I'll need some 64-bit
libraries for the building process, because as I said: my system is (with the
exception of the kernel) completey i386, that is it has only 32-bit libraries.
Now my questions:

Is it possible, to build an amd64 kernel inside an i386 system (with 32-bit
libraries)? If yes, what additional packages do I have to install? Are they
available inside the i386 distribution or do I have to download those from the
amd64 distribution?

I appreciate all hints and replies.

Dieter

Re: 3w_9xxx drive/lenny kernel

[Peter Yorke]

I have been running 3ware 9550's on lenny for over six months without issue 
with the 2.6.22 and .2.6.24 kernels.

What model card are you running?

What version of firmware on the card?

Subject: 3w_9xxx drive/lenny kernel

I just updated a system from etch to lenny.  With either the
linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 or the linux-image-2.6.22-3-amd64 kernel, my
3w_9 raid controller did not function.  On the console, lines and lines
of PCI parity error are reported.  The 2.6.18-6-amd64 from etch works fine,
even after the system is updated.  Unfortunately, the system boots off the
raid (not the best idea) so I need to make more effect to capture the exact
errors.  Did not learn much from Googling.  Has anyone had similar
experiences with the 3w_9xxx card?

Did you upgraded the 3ware kernel module?

Its only an idea, all my boxes with 3ware running 2.6.18, too.

disappearing esata disk

[k . hoppel]

Apology in advance for this probably not being a 64-bit specific problem: 
I am trying to attach a SATA disk using an external e-sata port 
(ASUS crosshair motherboard).  The disk works for a while after
booting, and I can mount and use the disk.  However, after a period
of time, ~10 minutes, the disk just disappears and cannot be accessed.
The disk drive feels like it is still spinning (external housing vibrates).
If I cycle the power or plug it into a different port, the disk is not
recognized - I have to reboot again to use the disk, until it disappears 
again.

Any ideas what the problem may be?

Thanks.
