I use the <a href="http://kernel.org" target="_blank">kernel.org</a> source code, and copy the same .config file I use on the i386 machine. If I run make menuconfig or just make, it prompts for processor, and only give x86 options.. The new phenom II 955 system can build a kernel in about 12 minutes versus the 2 hours of the other system, so being able to build with the new system would be a real advantage. The i386 has Fedora 10, and the x64 has Fedora 11. Perhaps something else needs to be installed, or some option. </blockquote><div> Use mock. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to accomplish what you want. This is the simplest way of isolating your build from all of the 64 bit stuff installed on your system. </div> </div>-- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
