Has anyone does this in Fedora 12? I don't want to re-install the whole system.
Just for fun, on F11 32-bit system (not tried on F12), I downloaded the
latest F11 64-bit kernel package and installed it with
rpm --nodeps --ignorearch --force <kernel package name>
It installed OK, since the kernel is pretty isolated from the rest of
the system software.
Booted into runlevel 3, and it worked fine.
Now, X won't start because it needs the 64-bit nouveau driver. I don't
know, but I suspect that you will need to install the entire 64-bit X
server package(s). This will force you to install at least the 64-bit
libc package.
If you just want a 64-bit server without X, this would work fine.
Otherwise I imagine you will get caught in package dependency hell and
I'm too lazy this morning to follow it to the bitter end.

John
