Re: [arch-dev-public] Punishment needed for not building in a chroot

I should have another fast x86_64 build box at my disposal soon. My laptop is still running i686, which I sometimes still need for some things. Can I switch *just* to the x86_64 kernel but leave the rest i686? Then I could use it to build both. This somehow seems like a bad idea, but maybe that's just because I'm too tired at the moment to think through all the possible bad things that could happen.

I run the x86_64 kernel on i686: http://allanmcrae.com/2009/06/using-an-x86_64-kernel-on-an-i686-userland/ You will also need (at least) aufs2 packages from x86_64:

pacman -Slq kernel64 aufs2 aufs2-util kernel26 kernel26-firmware

It does have its issues... Allan
