I'm having trouble building an x86 kernel on an x86_64 system. The GNAP guide says to use genkernel, but that doesn't work. Even if I use ARCH=i386 and --arch-override, the build fails, apparently because genkernel knows I'm running an x86_64 system. I can build a new kernel manually, so it appears to be a problem with genkernel. Several 'net searches turned up people that have had this problem, but I haven't found a solution.

Assuming I have to build the kernel manually, I am faced with the issue of creating a kernel package and a modules package that can be used with GNAP. I read something about tarring up the modules directory, but I didn't find anything about how to build the kernel package. I suspect initrd comes into play somewhere along the way, too.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim
