install 686 kernel after using a amd netinstallerI installed an etch debian with a netinstaller disc for amd64. Now i need to install the 2.6.22 kernel for 686 because i have a driver which doesn't work correctly on the amd kernel. The problem is that even changing the sources list adding repository for unstable, i can "see" (with apt-cache search or using bash completion on apt-get install) just the amd64 version of the kernel. I guess something limit the package i can see onto this system, but i can't find where and how to solve it. Bookmark/Search this post with:

install 686 kernel after
Which driver do you have problems with?
The problem here is that if your driver really is 32-bit only then you need to install a complete 32-bit system including the kernel and you cannot have 64-bit apps at all. You cannot mix 32-bit and 64-bit kernel code. If the 32-bit part is only a normal application then you can still run it using 32-bit libs as long as the kernel was compiled with the additional 32-bit support.
