Re: Upgrade server from i386 -> amd64 kernel ...



Yes, in fact it's pretty simple, quoting /usr/src/Makefile:

# If TARGET_ARCH=arch (e.g. ia64, sparc64, ...) is specified you can
# cross build world for other architectures using the buildworld target,
# and once the world is built you can cross build a kernel using the
# buildkernel target.

Just read through /usr/src/Makefile and /usr/src/UPDATING.

Just had a new 64bit server installed at the colo, but they accidentally
installed a i386 ISO, instead of an AMD64 one ... is it possible to build
/ install an amd64 world, or do I have to re-install from a proper ISO
first ?

Thanks ...
