Yikes! Now the linux32 command seems to be segfaulting! It was working perfectly on the 2.6.3-gentoo kernel. Back to it for now then. Tried: linux32 chroot target, where target is a 32 bit image that I use to run the environment of an embedded system. The embedded system uses an Elan sc520 processor, and I have a bug on that architecture as well: #44769. disable pre-empt. pre-empt on amd64 is /not/ something i would recommend at this point in time, and possibly not in the future either. Hello Travis, yes, you were right. I disabled the preempt option and now the kernel boots just fine with the Opteron/Athlon64 processor option. Thanks, Marius marking as wontfix, since pre-empt is a known source of problems on amd64 and disabling it fixes the issue. |
