Subject: 32 bit kernel on 64 bit machine

 Hi All,

Is it possible to boot the 64 bit machine through 32 bit compiled kernel ?
I tried its compilation on fedora 16 64 bit and intel sandybridge 64 bit
with following option:


$ make ARCH=i386 menuconfig

$ make ARCH=i386 ?j4

but it failed to boot. Any suggestion if it can be done by any way.

Best Regards,
Krishna
