From: Robert Mustacchi <r...@joyent.com> Heads Up: Removal of 32-bit x86 kernel As previously announced and discussed on the developer mailing list and with distributions, the x86 32-bit kernel is being removed. After pushing '8685 uts and mdb: do not build 32bit kernel' the 32-bit kernel will no longer be supported. Note, the ability to run 32-bit applications is not impacted in any way by this change. To determine if you're impacted, you should run the isainfo -k command. If it does not say amd64 (and you're not on SPARC), then you should check whether the processor in question supports 64-bit execution and work with your distribution to update. If not, then unfortunately after this change your hardware will no longer be supported by illumos. If you have any questions, please reach out.
