I 've done a local mirror of http://mirrors.uol.com.br/pub/suse/x86_64/9.2/ and installed SuSE by local network FTP on a HP ML 150 server (DUAL XEON 3.0Ghz FSB800Mhz) to avoid the message that happens when I try to install by the i386 cds I have ( something about installing 32 bit software in a 64 bit hardware).

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?
