You are right - now I'm really enjoying the speed improvement between |
| 21 |
Athlon XP 1700+ and Sempron 3300+ |
| 22 |
BUT as far as I know myself I'll try to reach the limits. I opened this |
| 23 |
thread in hope that the migration would be easy and I'll need just |
| 24 |
several tips & tricks from you guys, but the more I read, the more |
| 25 |
scared I get. |
| 26 |

I learned that first of all I need a "x86_64" kernel. For this purpose I |
| 28 |
need a cross-compiling environment which I could not get following |
| 29 |
Vapier's "http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/CROSS-COMPILE-HOWTO" - it seems |
| 30 |
to be outdated. My second try was to boot from Gentoo's official |
| 31 |
install-amd64-minimal-2006.1.iso |
| 32 |
<http://gentoo.itdnet.net/gentoo/releases/amd64/current/installcd/install-amd64-minimal-2006.1.iso>, |
| 33 |
but I couldn't mount my existing XFS which resides on stripe raid. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
In other words I need to read a lot more before asking questions on this |
| 36 |
subject here . |
| 37 |
Thanks for your answers and sorry for bothering you guys. |
