Hmmm, something else I just remembered when I noticed my production server is running a 32 bit kernel... A long time ago, maybe 6 or 7 years, something weird happened when Linode had some kind of problem (maybe it was another one of their maintenance processes, I don't recall), I had a heck of a time getting it back up, I finally had to do a full rebuild, and distinctly remember changing to a 32 bit kernel during the process, but never changed back. Do I need to do a full system rebuild to change back to the 64 bit kernel? Also, I haven't played with Linodes 'System Profiles' at all - I was thinking I'd just create a new profile, add my Gentoo System Image and a swap image to it, but assign the 64 bit kernel, then if it doesn't work, switch back. Should I be able to do that without causing any problems to the current/working profile?
