 |
|
I'm doing a 32bit install with an AMD X2 4400+ processor and have been having problems compiling a kernel. I'm using the 2006.0 x86 installer CD, and have had no other problems (that I know of). It doesn't seem to matter what I do in the kernel config; for example, in the processor type part, I only have generic x86_64, AMD64, and EM64T to choose from.
Here is the error message:
| Code: |
livecd linux # make
CHK include/linux/version.h
CC arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.s
arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.c:1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode

In your possition I would rather perform a 64bit installation from proper cd universal or minimal

All three of those processor options will create a 64bit kernel. yoiu need to select "athlon" to create a 32 bit kernel.

Those are my only options. Is there something I did wrong to have the kernel config only present these options? |

try amd64  I mean Opteron/Athlon64.
If you don't see these option just try vanilla-sources:) Or ocz-sources

According to this, you've installed an AMD64 system (x86_64). So, you'll need to do a full reinstall with a x86 image if you want a 32 bit system.
I didn't notice that part earlier.

But I'm using an x86 install disc!
I think I just need to burn this computer and start over with a new one. :) |

It turns out I'm not so sure I was using an x86 install disc. I had downloaded both the x86_64 and x86 isos, and didn't bother to label the CD that I installed from, so I'm going to chalk this one up to user error and start over.
Thanks for the help guys. |

To be honest, I had been lurking in some of the threads on this board and using x86_64 sounds like kind of a PITA, as far as having to configure and fiddle with stuff is concerned. I have my current gentoo setup going well enough that I haven't had to futz with anything in a long while, and I kind of wanted the same experience with this new box. |

Let's set this straight.
No other Linux distribution works better on AMD 64 than Gentoo. It has more packages available and more becoming available every day. Almost everything just works out of the box. Most importantly, no other distribution has as seemless 32-bit executable support via split libraries.
Now, somethings you will have to unmask, but those are far and few between and are becoming fewer. I have been playing around with my system for about a month as I find time. The install went smoothly and I have far from a typical installation.
* Software (kernel) RAID 0 and RAID 1 on two pairs of SATA drives (one pair Raptor SATA150, one pair SATA II). All drive space is RAID, including boot partition.
* nVidia graphics card
* Dual sound cards (onboard + Audiophile 2496)
* Hauppauge PVR-250 (MythTV, which just plain works)
* nForce4 MoBo
At no time have I had an unbootable system. Xorg-x11 with the nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx emerges just plain work.
Have I had to do a bit of research? You bet. But most of it involved merely finding out what packages to emerge. Once I emerged the code, things just worked. The folks on these forums have been super at resolving any problems. The result is that my dual core 4400+ based system just sings. I have a couple of small issues with some very cutting edge stuff, but I am sure that those will also be resolved soon.
The bottom line is that things work.
I think you ought to give 64 bits a try.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was AFK the last couple days.
You convinced me, I decided to go with the x86_64 install since I'd probably want to do that at some point in the future. I haven't had any major problems, but then I haven't used the system a ton yet.
When I made the comment about x86_64 being difficult to set up, I was referring to things that I use in a desktop system: viewing videos downloaded from the internet, viewing videos in my browser, flash in the browser, etc. These are things that my cursory usage so far has shown to be more difficult to set up than usual (ie, I can't just "emerge some_package" and call it good). |

Yes you can. mozilla-firefox-bin, mplayer-bin, win32codecs, mplayerplug-in-bin, openoffice-bin, netscape-flash, etc. These work fine out-of-the-box, including flash, videos from Firefox, etc. Just emerge them.
Plus, you can emerge the 64-bit version of mplayer, too and have the best of both worlds.
N.B., The current mplayer-bin that works is mplayer-bin-1.0_pre7-r3. There are unresolved issues with the one labelled mplayer-bin-1.0.20060217.

No, you can't. There's no mplayerplug-in-bin in portage. |

Sorry about that. My log book is a bit muddled right now. I'm straightening it out. The ebuild is available off site. Unfortunately the docs on that site are hopelessly modduled. As soon as I complete a simple HowTo I will post it and link to the post in this thread.

Got the same Error as OP, but while trying to build a 32bit install by chrooting from my 64bit Gentoo install.

did the trick for me! This might be kinda offtopic, I just thougt I'd post here, because I found this thread while looking for my problem... |

Gentoo on AMD64
