Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-06-11 17:25:39 UTC
i don't know how kernel configs are managed with livecds, but can we enable CONFIG_X86_X32 in them ?  it's valid starting with linux-3.4, and doesn't require anything other than CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION (which we already enable for 32bit support).
Comment 1 David Carlos Manuelda 2012-07-10 23:51:13 UTC
Doing that, can possibly have some undesired side effects. See bug #424573 (I can't make a depend on it)
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-07-17 02:24:25 UTC
gcc-4.7 is not even in ~arch.  not a blocking issue.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-09-06 04:39:34 UTC
with gentoo-sources-3.4.x in stable now, is there anything blocking enabling of this in our install media ?

The x32 support is enabled in the latest installcd kernel[1]. It was already enabled for the 3.4.2 kernel, though.
We should have new install media next week after I update catalyst to the 2.0.11 release (I plan to do it this weekend).

I'm closing this bug as this should be fixed in the latest release[1].
