It recognizes it is 64 bit.
The XEON FSB 800Mhz is supposed to be 64 bits and use the x86_64 packages, doesn't it? But Why SuSE install the i586 packages instead ?
That being said, are these the EM64T variety of Xeon? The HP site specs them as just Xeons. Note: non 64-bit Xeons are still available. If they aren't the EM64T then SuSE is doing the right thing by installing the i586 packages.
John, if you see my post i wrote that "SuSE 9.2 - CD Install" complains that I'm going to use 32-bit software in a 64-bit machine so i am sure IT IS EM64T.
Just two more reasons :
1) Intel site says that all XEON FSB 800Mhz are EM64T. 2) I've installed SLES9 x86_64 and it worked but i hated it. It has the same broken 2.6.x kernel that doesn't recognize my adaptec smartraid V controller (dpt_i2o).
So why the hell "SuSE 9.2 - FTP install" doesn't install the x86_64 packages? I definitely think that SUSE x86_64 FTP INSTALL IS BROKEN. It must be a bug, what should I do?

I installed 9.2 using the ftp (rather a http install) version for x86_64 onto my AMD64 box, so I know that it does work. And since the EM64T is basically a clone of the AMD64, it should work for you. Have you tried to download the boot iso file again and reburn it? This is the iso file I used: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/x86_64/9.2/boot/boot.iso Also, maybe the mirror you tried to install from was corrupt. Try a different mirror. I've installed from ftp.gwdg.de and mirror.mcs.anl.gov and never had any problems. I have had problems with a mirror in California (couldn't connect). John
