Can a 64-bit system be chainloaded from a 32-bit?


What do you mean by chainloaded? If you are talking about a Grub,
then it is the same for a 32 or 64 bit version of Fedora. Grub is a
boot loader that is independent of the OS installed. (Except for
storing its files.)

I tried the standard commands and then the map and chainloader commands,
neither worked.

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to boot two
different installations, or are you trying to boot both 32 bit and
64 bit from the same install? (Sharing the same / and /home?)

Have Fedora 12-x86_64 on a separate disk to Fedora 11-x86
Want to boot F12 from F11 grub and if testing in the F12 environment I want to boot into F11

Altered /grub/menu.lst in Fedora 11 to include the kernel and initrd from F12, it won't boot. Altered /grub/menu.lst in Fedora 12 to include kernel and initrd from F11 , same result.

Tried
map(hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
root (hd1,0)
chainloader  +1

won't boot.
