Subject: Re: [Sisuite-users] 64-bit imaging
3.4.1 is the version. Where it dies (one of them), it
looks like, is the make
patched_kernel-stamp bit. The other thing i'm
wondering is if it's a 2.6
kernel thing....the kernel it seems to want is 2.4
something. Is there a
problem with 2.6 kernel and systemimager? I
hadn't tried to download a
"non-stable" release...is it a different codebase
for x86_64 for 3.5.3?
We're using gentoo because it seems more
efficient and has the most mature
and stable 64-bit environment of the major
distros.
