| |
Hello All, Does anyone know if an ia32 kernel (specifically the one that comes with Red Hat 7.2) will work on an SMP AMD Opteron machine? I know someone will want to know why I would want to, so here is the explanation. I want to evaluate the opteron port of Linux at work. Buying the Opteron machine is less risky if I can fall back to 32 bit Linux if the 64 bit port does not work well. This is particularly true since the 64 bit servers do not seem to cost much more than similar Pentium machines.
Thanks,
