Response from Roger
Should have worked. Try /usr/sbin/isainfo to see what mode the
kernel is booted in. If you don't see 64 bit apps, you aren't
in that mode.
Response from Scott:
Sure... You need to edit the /platform/sun4u/boot.conf file and comment
out the line that says "ALLOW_64BIT_KERNEL_ON_UltraSPARC_1_CPU=true". I
do not know if "false" will work there instead, but it came commented out
and I had to uncomment it in order to boot a 64 bit kernel instead of the
32 bit kernel.
Response from Casper
"boot kernel/unix" should work.
Have you tried "isainfo -kv"?
My note.
Thanks for the responses from Casper, Scott and Roger. Still it does not
work.
Well, I am planning to discuss with SUN and will send the update if it
works.
Thanks
