Anyone know what steps need to be followed to get a Slackware 9.0 Opteron
system booting from a 64-bit kernel and with a native 64-bit build of gcc
available?

I've downloaded the cross-compiler stuff from suse.com, and was able to
build a x86_64 kernel that booted, but no modules worked, and I was not
able to build gcc 3.3.2 as a native x86_64 compiler (with which I hoped to
generate a more fully functional kernel).

The system (dual-Opteron with 4GB of RAM) is running fine, but I'd really
like to be able to run the 64-bit version of MySQL with a 64-bit kernel.
Most of the rest can remain 32-bit.
