I have a system with a missing or damaged kernel and I need to reinstall some software to fix it (see this thread for reference removed xen and kernel is gone). I feel fairly certain I can fix my system with the info in that thread however I don't know if this was a 32bit or 64bit system. How can I tell after using the dvd and linux rescue or does it even matter?

I would like to know the exact difference between 32 bit Linux OS and 64 bit Linux OS. Can some one post me the material or overview on this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedNow, I'm ready to run my program, and my code is based on 32bit version. So I run the program on Ubuntu 9.10 32bit. And I got running time for 48s. But that's a bit slower than I expected; the program has bunch of File I/O processing but the result(48s) just doesn't make sense compared to given initial data set. So I just run the same program and same initial data set on Ubuntu 9.10 64bit ver. Then, bang!! it took 1.4s to finish the job.
Do you have any thoughts what kind of fact might make this significant difference? The differences b/w those two OS are "32 vs 64" and 32bit version has Java SDK, Eclipse, Apache2, Mysql, PHP, CGI, and python. We-server service is running but because I'm not really running web server. Did the result come from these background programs?
-- I tested it on the both OS in the same situation as possible as I can.
(reboot->test)
-- BTW 64bit one doesn't have those programs. I just installed on my external hard drive, so it's literary PURE one. (32bit one also in the same HDD)
-- I run these Ubuntus on VMware
I recently installed debian squeeze 32bit on a second partition of my amd athlon 64 X2 dual core machine.Currently it is using linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 kernel.But linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 is available.on the repository.Is it a 64bit kernel or 32bit kernel optimized for amd64 architecture?

I don't think none of the above gives deterministic answer. Since I have 32-bit & 64-bit different system all of above spit out the same info.
I have been running F14 as a 32-bit system (original m/b was 32-bit). Now the system is on a 64-bit dual-core processor board and I'd like to change from the 32-bit kernel to 64-bit. I downloaded a 64-bit kernel (kernel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.86_64.rpm) and attempted to install it. It won't install and Package Installer returns a message of the sort that says this file "has incompatible architecture.
Valid architectures are ['athlon', 'i686', 'i586', 'i486'....]". My processor is an Athlon 64 x2. Is it possible to do what I want to do (I only want the kernel at the moment)? Is there some Fedora file I need to modify to allow the system to install the 64-bit kernel for this m/b? Do I need another file (or files) installed before I install the kernel?
Or do I need to d/l a new ISO that's 32bit?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have got an Notebook whose CPU is 64bit.The Notebook has an CentOS installation. Now I want to find out if this CentOS is 32bit or 64bit.How can I check this?
uname -a
gives something with ....i686 i686 i386...."
What does that mean?Does that refer to the hardware or the CentOS OS? An 32bit CentOS can be installed on a 64bit hardware!I am interested in the OS capability not of the hardware!
(Second Try) I installed CentOS 5.5 from CDs 32 bit, everything works fine. I then re-install, but this time 64 bit, everything else is the same, I use all of the same options. This time though it sees the network card, and allows me to configure it and activate it. It will not connect outside of it's self, IE it can ping it's self, but nothing else. Go back to 32 bit, and zero problems, try 64 again, no network. Each time I do full installs with partition formatting etc. In case it makes hill-o-beans difference, Intel P4, 2.66 Ghz. 2.0 GB RAM MSi Motherboard.

I've tried editing the make file and changing CC=gcc to CC='gcc -m32" and that doesn't work. I have also tried to use "make CC='gcc -m32' and that doesn't work either. It wont compile. Do I need to install something with yum to get 32bit compiler to work?

In my /proc/cpuinfo I can see pae in the flags. None of my domUs are going to need more than 3 GB of ram but I was wondering what is the REAL ammount of RAM accessible to the system. If I run 4 domU at the same time. Around 7 GB or 12 GB?

(my PC has 1GB) So the question is: Does 64bit use more RAM than 32bit?
