I am hoping to run a mixed environment with an amd64 kernel and a 32bit

the 32bit user space will communicate correctly with the amd64 kernel?
Has anyone tried this?

Yes, this works; however, why do you want to use 32-bit user space? The general consensus is that AMD64 code is faster/better in many ways and you really shouldn't use i386 code on a 64-bit CPU if you can avoid it. (this differs from e.g. Sparc where sparc32 code is generally faster than sparc64 code, and so it makes sense to use a 32-bit userland there)


Thanks,
