Hi, |
2 |
I'm very unclear about this idea. I've built my new AMD64 machine |
3 |
using the Gentoo 64-bit setup. The kernel I emerge uses the ~amd64 to |
4 |
I think I get a full 64-bit kernel. (Please excuse me on this issue. |
5 |
I'm a bit of a "follow instructions, not necessarily understand the |
6 |
whole thing" kind of guy on this one, and I definitely feel like I |
7 |
don't get what's up with 64-bit operation so far...) As far as I know |
8 |
everything on my machine is supposed to run in 64-bit mode, as far as |
9 |
I know. |
10 |
|
11 |
Anyway, this machine is an AMD64 using a NForce4 motherboard. At |
12 |
this point, running a kernel with the processor being an AMD64 |
13 |
processor, I'm unable to run the machine with no xruns using Jack. Any |
14 |
disk activity seems to be the main cause of xruns on this machine. |
15 |
I've tried the AMD64 64-bit Gentoo kernel as well as ck-sources. |
16 |
Neither has worked well at all for me. I continue to get xruns and |
17 |
haven't been able to figure out how to configure the machine to work |
18 |
well. Bummer. |
19 |
|
20 |
Since I've had great results on all of my older 32-bit machines in |
21 |
the past using gentoo-sources with no modifications I'd like to try |
22 |
running that on this machine to see if the xruns are a platform issue, |
23 |
such as the chipset, etc.) or whether they are cuased by operating in |
24 |
64-bit mode. However, I am completely unable to figure out for myself |
25 |
if I can run a 32-bit kernel when everything else - glibc, xrog-x11, |
26 |
qt, gnome, apps, etc., have been compiled as 64-bit capable. Is this |
27 |
allowed, or will the machine not work running a 32-bit kernel at this |
28 |
point? |
29 |
|
30 |
Sorry if this question sounds brain dead but I'm not a CS/IT |
31 |
person. I'm a hardware guy and in my world 64-bit is real different |
32 |
than 32-bit. If I build a kernel for a Athlon will it work with all |
33 |
the existing libraries that work with 64-bit? |
34 |
|
35 |
Thanks in advance, |
36 |
