I've got a Pentium 4 with EMT_64 and SuSE seems to think this is a 64bit processor and wants to install the 64 bit version. When I installed 9.1 I just told SuSE to install the 32 bit version anyway. Now when I try and upgrade to 9.2 the installer can't seem to find a valid partition. Any ideas? Should this processor really have 64bit packages installed?
We have some new P4 servers here at work that SUSE 9.2 complained about.. the install kept blurting out " Your trying to install a 32 bit OS on 64 bit hardware." When I tried out the 64 bit install it hung when loading the drivers for the RAID controller and never went any further. I suspect that the motherboard didn't support the 64 bit version of SUSE but the procs indeed had the X86-64 extensions. You can give it a shot but I don't know if your motherboard will support those features of the new P4's. -Ben -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
