I have a question of amd64 packages for sarge. Is only amd64-libs required to boot an amd64 kernel with i386 emulation? In the case of the present amd64 biarch, a few packages such as module-init-tools must be replaced by their amd64 version for booting. Does module-init-tools for sarge support amd64 modules for installing and removing ? P.S. I am a user of native systems of amd64 biarch with kernel-2.6.7-k8-smp since 1.5 years ago. I am satisfied with this system. It is very stable. Of course I needed some packages such as mathematical libraries to run my 64 bit applications but packages from pure64 could be utilized. I do not want to use pure64 until most PCs in my lab. are replaced by opteron. One headache was I could not upgrade the systems to sarge. But if these packages are available, my headache will go away. Thus, I am very glad to read this mail. Thanks for your efforts.
