I've been able to install Markus Neubauer's kernel from
http://helpdesk.std-service.de/kernel-image-2.6.14-amd64-smp-vs_0.84_amd64.deb
(thanks, Markus!) which boots without any problems on the Sun Fire X2100.
I've been able to build util-vserver-0.30.210.tar.bz2 as usual via ./configure etc.,
by manually resolving missing dependencies until no more warnings occured during
./configure.
However, when trying to build a vserver I'm running into the bug described at
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13844
I presume it's an apt sources problem, since
debootstrap --arch amd64 sarge /pure64/ http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/
completes fine. What should I stick where to make it work?
I'm still not sure whether I should stick with an unsupported AMD64 Sarge
or go with a vanilla i386 Sarge (the machine only has 4 GBytes) -- i.e.
will it hurt performance badly? 2 GByte/process limit won't bite, will absence of
twice as many registers in AMD64 mode? But gcc-3.3/gcc-3.4 doesn't support
AMD64 all that well anyway, right?
