Re: [opensuse] 64bit kernel and 32bit userland - Package Upgrades
I have a 64bit XEN dom0, where I want to run a 32bit userland in a XEN domU. I have booted a 32bit userland with a 64bit kernel, as a 64bit dom0 seemingly only allows a 64bit kernel to be used. The 32bit userland works quite well, I've not had any unexpected errors. However; When I want to upgrade or install any software, YaST and friends seems to look at my ARCH to select which packages to install. How can I override YaST and friends magic? Maybe it works if you run "linux32 yast2". linux32 changes the personality to 32bit.
Yes, that worked great. I also got hold of a 32bit binary of linux32 thanks to Jan Engelhardt. -- Dag Stenstad --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
