Just a thought: Is it possible to compile a 64bit kernel and use him

Florian,
That would be ideal! It's exactly what I'd do -- if it's
doable.
Hopefully the experts will point to a HOWTO :->
This sounds like a way to infinite pain. (This is at first glance and
off the top of my head without looking into it, of course...) While
it may be possible to cross-compile a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit
system, IIRC unless you have the right runtime libraries compiled for
64-bit you may have massive trouble getting the system to even come up.
But I'm not an expert on new and cool ways to try things, so your
mileage may vary.
