Knoppix 64 bit install

[chris77]

I had the same problem (knoppix64 hd-install) today, doing a hd-install of knoppix 6.7

in /boot i found a "vmlinuz-3.0.4-64" kernel image to which i created the softlink "vmlinuz64" in the same directory /boot being root

i altered the file /boot/grub/menu.lst as root to make the new 64bit Kernel appear there:
(...)
title KNOPPIX
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz64 root=/dev/sdb1 rootwait lang=de apm=power-off nomce libata.force=noncq tz=localtime loglevel=1 desktop=kde rw
(...)
i hope you use grub. if not, i'd try to redirect the "vmlinuz" link in /boot to your 64bit kernel image there, eg. something with "vmlinuz" and "64" in the filename. For me it was "vmlinuz-3.0.4-64"

the system now uses 64bit as i can use my 8gb ram. it shows some errors at bootup which i don't understand but nothing critical so far

i'd like to hear your experience since i myself am unsure if i should use this for production work.

cheers, christian
