It would be better to start with the configuration of Debian's -amd64 images if you want to use a 64-bit kernel, or even install and boot the 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel. > But when I execute 'make', restart config becomes and I'm interrogated > on some details of the configuration: > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > antares:/usr/src/linux# make > HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf > scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig > * > * Restart config... > * > * > * RCU Subsystem > * > RCU Implementation >> 1.

That's because there are numerous changes between 2.6.26 and 2.6.32, so your old configuration cannot be used as-is. You may want to run "make ARCH=x86_64 menuconfig" first, so that the defaults are used. Otherwise you will have to answer literally thousands of questions.
