 |
|
I'm reinstalling gentoo after a disk in my raid array failed. The problem I have is that the 2.6.36 and 2.6.35 kernels aren't building me a 64bit kernel. Infact in the arch/ directory there isn't even a x86_64 folder! I'm installing the. 34, .33 and 32 kernel's to try now. I double checked and I'm running the 64bit minimal CD, and here is my make.conf.
| Code: | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"
FEATURES="mini-manifest parallel-fetch"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=core2 -02 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"

How do you know this ?
BTW, the bzImage you would get in the x86_64 directory is a symlink to the x86 directory bzImage.
Can you post the output of :
| Code: | | # file /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/kernel/traps.o |
(Or any other .o of this directory) |

| /etc/make.conf is a portage configuration file and would ideally reside in /etc/portage/. It wont have an effect when compiling a kernel. |

| Are you trying to cross compile? What kind of CPU are you performing this on? Is your environment build for 32bit or 64bit? |

Shelnutt2,
The trees for the i386 and x86_64 kernels were merged into x86 around 2.6.26 or so.
Since then i396 and x86_64 have been symlinks to x86
Whatever you have in x86 is a result of | Code: | #
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.36-gentoo
# Wed Oct 27 19:19:00 2010
#
CONFIG_64BIT=y
# CONFIG_X86_32 is not set |
at the top of the .config file
