Hi,

I've recently come across some postings about the necessity for a x86_64 
kernel for imaging Opterons and EM64T machines, and have found some 
difficulties myself. I resolved them by building a separate kernel for 
these machines.. but:

Isn't it possible to do everthing systemimager needs without the "chroot" 
part? 

I think it would be much easier to use dd for the mbr, instead of chroot 
and 'lilo' or "grub-install".

Without the chroot part there would only be one 
kernel/initrd/boel_binaries needed with all the new hardware drivers, not 
different kernels for different architectures.

Anyone have any ideas about this? Am I forgetting something? Any 
impossibilities?

greetings,

Gerben
