Then you will need 64bit boot loader.
If you are booting vmlinux yes.
Wow? what happened?
Nothing. That is just where it looks like vmlinux on x86_64 is going. There are two separate conversations to take it there.
Or can I use entrypoint for start64-0x100 to get the address for start32
Nope. The code will go 64bit in the decompresser.
vmlinux should not include decompressor. or vmlinux will become vmlinuz?
The standard thing to boot is bzImage.
Like I said the 32bit entry point is really not supported for vmlinux on x86_64 please don't count on it being there.
bzImage will shortly also become ELF but that is another story...
