boot the 32 bit kernel on a 64 bit PPC Linux machine?

Hi all,

I'm looking to cover a corner case for an upcoming test cycle. Is there a way to boot a RedHat Advanced Server 4 (update 3) installed on a Power PC machine to use a 32 bit kernel? This would be similar to what is done here -> AIX platform

I've done some pretty major Googling, but so far I have come up dry. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi. I need to migrate the whole unix environment from a Unix mp-ras 32 bit to a Linux Suse 64 bit. 1) can i use cpio to copy the data? 2) can i just copy the users from unix to linux or do i have to create them by hand 3) are there any other concerns i should worry about? thanx (1 Reply)

SD_ID128_GET_MACHINE(3) 				       sd_id128_get_machine					   SD_ID128_GET_MACHINE(3)

NAME
sd_id128_get_machine, sd_id128_get_boot - Retrieve 128-bit IDs SYNOPSIS
#include <systemd/sd-id128.h> int sd_id128_get_machine(sd_id128_t* ret); int sd_id128_get_boot(sd_id128_t* ret); DESCRIPTION
sd_id128_get_machine() returns the machine ID of the executing host. This reads and parses the machine-id(5) file. This function caches the machine ID internally to make retrieving the machine ID a cheap operation. sd_id128_get_boot() returns the boot ID of the executing kernel. This reads and parses the /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id file exposed by the kernel. It is randomly generated early at boot and is unique for every running kernel instance. See random(4) for more information. This function also internally caches the returned ID to make this call a cheap operation. Note that sd_id128_get_boot() always returns a UUID v4 compatible ID. sd_id128_get_machine() will also return a UUID v4-compatible ID on new installations but might not on older. It is possible to convert the machine ID into a UUID v4-compatible one. For more information, see machine-id(5). For more information about the "sd_id128_t" type see sd-id128(3). RETURN VALUE
The two calls return 0 on success (in which case ret is filled in), or a negative errno-style error code. NOTES
The sd_id128_get_machine() and sd_id128_get_boot() interfaces are available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the "libsystemd-id128" pkg-config(1) file. SEE ALSO
