Compiling 64bit Kernels

Hi, as I can't get 2.6.18 or 2.6.19 kernels to boot on my Turion system without 'noapic' being passed to the kernel [which means I'm only running 1 of my two cpus ].  I want to 'rollback' to a 2.6.17 kernel, which I know worked for me with Ubuntu Dapper.

I've followed the instructions on this page, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … n_with_ABS  but it doesn't appear to work with the 64 bit arch, it searches for 'i386' folders, and although I get a pkg.tar.gz file at the end, when I pacman -A it nothing appears in /boot as I would expect.

Am I doing things in the right way or am I going hopelessly off track!

Alternatively has anyone experienced problems with their Laptop Turion64x2 chips hanging recent kernels, and solved it without 'noapic' or is there a way to run 'noapic' and still use both cpus?

Thanks guys!

Re: Compiling 64bit Kernels

how about this: http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … cvs-markup

But you should better figure out what the apic problem is. Maybe there's a patch out on the lkml.

And remember to use "abs" to download all Arch64 cvs stuff ;-)
