Hello there:
I know that exist a procedure to convert an OS using 32bits kernel to 64 bits kernel. But, exist a procedure to convert an OS using 64bits to 32 bits kernel? Please help me. Regards. |

There is a link in the root directory called /unix. It points to the kernel you are using (in case of a 64-bit-kernel this is /usr/lib/boot/unix_64). Remove the link and create a new one to the kernel of your liking, then reboot.
You may have to install the 32-bit-kernel images first, check with "lslpp -l bos.mp*" and "lslpp -l bos.up*" (mp=multiprocessor, up=uniprocessor kernels) which kernels are installed. bakunin |

If you want to enable 64-bit kernel after system installation, you will need to
instruct the system to use the 64-bit kernel information stored in the /usr/lib/boot directory. There are two kernels available in the /usr/lib/boot directory: unix_mp 32-bit kernel for multiprocessor systems unix_64 64-bit kernel for 64-bit processor systems The following example provides the commands to run to enable the 64-bit kernel after system installation: # ln -sf /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 /unix # ln -sf /usr/lib/boot/unix64 /usr/lib/boot/unix # bosboot -ad /dev/ipldevice bosboot: Boot image is 23137 512 byte blocks. # shutdown -r After the system has rebooted, it will be running the 64-bit kernel. To reactivate the 32-bit kernel, follow the same procedure, substituting unix_mp for unix_64, depending on your system type. To verify your settings, execute the following command: # ls -al /unix lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 21 Nov 11 11:30 /unix -> /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 |
