Do other distros/older releases correctly recognize this cpu as being 64bits?
Is there something in your bios that needs to be set to enable this properly?
Yes, I'm using the x86_64 machine right now with opensuse 10.3-x86_64 - DVD installed. No problem detecting...the above cpuinfo is what I get while running the 10.3 version. I have looked in the bios and cannot find anything related to enabling 64 bit. I'm open to suggestions. I'm far from expert where the bios is concerned. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
