You mean run a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit support. There's no such thing as a |
| 5 |
32-bit kernel with 64-bit support (at least not in x86-land). |

No, it won't, but it's a little bit tricky to set up. You'll want to use an |
| 11 |
i686 stage3, and set ARCH to x86 or ~x86. Then, you'll have to install a |
| 12 |
cross compiler (and binutils, IIRC) and cross-compile your kernel. |

You could always just use a 32-bit kernel. Do you have 3G or more RAM or need |
| 15 |
to run 64-bit programs? |
