Hey, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've just upgraded one of my boxes from a P4 to an X2, and now wish to move to |
| 4 |
a proper 64bit profile. I'm no newbie, having been using gentoo for some 4 |
| 5 |
years, nor am I especially new to the 64bit world. |
| 6 |
I'm not willing to re-install, that's just lazy :) |

|

At the moment it's happily running a 32bit kernel, with 32bit userland. |

>From my experimentation last night, I suspect I will need to boot an amd64 |
| 10 |
livecd to compile a proper 64bit kernel, which will enable me to compile a |
| 11 |
64bit toolchain. |
| 12 |
Could not compile a 64bit kernel, or a multilib gcc, from the 32bit kernel. |
| 13 |
I was hoping to use the 2004.3 to 2005.0 upgrade script in the 2005.0 profile, |
| 14 |
but someone removed the 2004.3 profile :) Not that the process is especially |
| 15 |
difficult. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Can someone confirm a rough outline of the steps involved in this migration |
| 18 |
please? |
