En/La Jaime Ochoa Malag�n ha escrit, a 22/04/05 12:57: | I'll try to explain it in the way I understand... | | you have /dev/hda1 with i386 (sarge) | | at some point between 4 and 6 you need to mount your new partition | /dev/hda2 on /pure64 Yes, of course you're right. See the revised "howto" below. | | the kernel should appear in grub Great! That make life simple | | the point 6 is to create a new / with all the files and directories on | /pure64 this new tree have binaries compiled for 64 bits You mean this new "/" will start from /pure64, yes? | | now you have 2 installations of debian the old sarge and another one | in /dev/hda2 this last of 64 bits That's very clear, yes. | | The usual way is to become /dev/hda2 as your new main system... Yes, this is what I want. I want /dev/hda2 = /pure64 to be the main system.
| *WARNING the following lines are due my understand of yours mails if | at any point I say a stupid thing stop the reading at all is a | misunderstand* | Sorry I wasn't clear. The chroot stuff is confusing for me but I want /pure64 to be the main system and to create a chroot for running programs that won't run with the amd64's 32bit libraries. Is that clear? | but you pretend do the opposite, [If I undestood well and the software | allows it] run like the main system the old sarge and run programs | from /pure64... No I don't want to do this. | | If thats is the case you already have openoffice up and running | because your main system is in fact the old a well know sarge. The | kernel allows you to run all your 32bits programs. | | In that point you already have the right kernel to run programs from | /pure64 and just need to load the right libs, and "propagate" the | needed files and directories to /pure64 (as example /dev/mouse is know | by the kernel and "published" in /dev, in the directoy | /pure64/dev/mouse you need to have the the SAME reference to | /dev/mouse to use it in the /pure64 apps). | | Regards (With the hope to help) | Hola Jaime, Thanks a lot for your help. I hope this is clearer. You can check the revised "howto" below and see if it now make sense to you. Salut, Jonathan ===================================================================== ~ 1.Downloaded latest Knoppix iso ~ 2.Boot with Knoppix and use qtparted to create a new partition (a)for concreteness call it hda2 ~ 3.Create 60GB partition ~ 4.Bootup sarge i386 ~ 5.mkdir /pure64 ~ 6.Mount new partition: mount /dev/hda2 /pure64 ~ 7.run aptitude install kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8 (a)this gets me the files: kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8 kernel-image-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 ~ 8.Reboot and boot the new kernel, then run debootstrap --arch amd64 sarge /pure64/ http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 (b)QUERY: Ok, I have booted the new kernel. Will I be able to run i386 binaries like debootstrap? Or do I have to install it again once the new kernel is running? In general if I'm doing all this from the new kernel what if any binaries can I run? ~ 9.Copy some files over (like /etc/{fstab,hostname,hosts,...}, whichever you need. (a)Query: Copy them to where? I still can't visualise what the new file system will look like. Will there be a /pure64/etc/ alongside of the /etc/ ? And so on for the entire file system? If so, then it's easy. ~ 10.Do aptitude install ia32-libs (a)QUERY: the HOWTO claims that these will run ?most? ia32 programs. Is that your experience? ~ 11.bind mount /home, /tmp, /proc ~ 12. Follow instructions of the AMD64 HOWTO Using an IA32 chroot to run 32bit applications =========================================================================
