Hmmm, something else I just remembered when I noticed my production |
| 8 |
server is running a 32 bit kernel... |

A long time ago, maybe 6 or 7 years, something weird happened when |
| 11 |
Linode had some kind of problem (maybe it was another one of their |
| 12 |
maintenance processes, I don't recall), I had a heck of a time getting |
| 13 |
it back up, I finally had to do a full rebuild, and distinctly remember |
| 14 |
changing to a 32 bit kernel during the process, but never changed back. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Do I need to do a full system rebuild to change back to the 64 bit kernel? |
| 17 |

Also, I haven't played with Linodes 'System Profiles' at all - I was |
| 19 |
thinking I'd just create a new profile, add my Gentoo System Image and a |
| 20 |
swap image to it, but assign the 64 bit kernel, then if it doesn't work, |
| 21 |
switch back. Should I be able to do that without causing any problems to |
| 22 |
the current/working profile? |
