Definitely a problem. |

Your 32-but kernel can't run the 64-bit bash. You'll have to use a 64-bit |
| 15 |
kernel (or as 32-bit stage3, and then gradually recompile) |

If you have a little bit of free space, do a 32-bit install to a separate |
| 22 |
LV. No need to really do a full install, just enough so you can compile a |
| 23 |
64-bit kernel and install and configure your bootloader to load the 64-bit |
| 24 |
kernel. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
That should be as easy as lvcreate, format, mount, extract 32-bit stage3, |
| 27 |
cp over /etc/resolv.conf, chroot, emerge <your_favorite>-sources, |
| 28 |
cd /usr/src/<whatever>, zcat /proc/config.gz > .config, make oldconfig, |
| 29 |
make, emerge grub, mount /boot, grub-install, make install, umount boot, |
| 30 |
shutdown -r now. |
| 31 |
|

(Maybe a few steps I'm missing, and I don't mess with (e)lilo.) |
