x86-64 Kernel compile ---> i only get 32-bit
Hi all
this must be a silly question but....
I've compiled a 2.6.7-ck4 kernel on an Athlon 64 laptop and i've been disappointed to see that, even if I check "Athlon 64" in "processor family", I get a 32-bit kernel...
in particular, the kernel image is stored in arch/i386, and not in arch/x86_64 as I expected...
so could you explain me what I need to do in order to get a 64-bit kernel ?
besides i'm running slackware so there's no precompiled 64-bit kernel.
thanks
PS : could this have anything to do with the -ck patchset ??
PS : additional question : i'd like to make Nvidia drivers run. Is it enough that I get a 64-bit kernel and the AMD64 nv drivers, or must I recompile more stuff into 64-bit.... like xorg ??
