Hi,

I am trying to setup up a dual Opteron machine. So far I have got
it running with patched 2.6.0 kernel in chroot. However, I am
stuck in creating a 32/64 bit environment. Namely,

cdebootstrap -v --arch amd64 sarge /chroot/sarge-amd64 http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/

fails at "installing important packages":

------------------------

How can I modify cdebootstrap process to fetch the "NEW packages" above
before entering to apt setup? Hmm, on the other hand,

/chroot/sarge-amd64/var/cache/apt/archives/

contains

console-tools_0.2.3dbs-43lib64_i386.deb

but no

console-tools_0.2.3dbs-43lib64_amd64.deb
libtext-wrapi18n-perl_0.06-1_all.deb

When I get these .deb files manually from
http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/, do

rm /chroot/sarge-amd64/etc/modules.conf

and rerun cdebootstrap, then it fails as follows:

-----------------------

-----------------------

Now I am confused as something removed the
libtext-wrapi18n-perl_0.06-1_all.deb file (that I downloaded earlier) and
cdebootstrap fails because of that, right?
Any advice how to proceed is appreciated.

Thanks,
Pearu

I am trying to setup up a dual Opteron machine.
I'd like to setup it directly with a 64Bit SO but I don't know to do it,
because I tried to do it installing a 32Bit environment (debian woody) and
after in a chroot environment install 64Bit SO.


PS. Excuse for my english but I'm an italian boy and my english is "bad"

Thank's
