[Bug 473716] New: Incorrectly installing x86_64 on a x86
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473716 Summary: Incorrectly installing x86_64 on a x86 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: erikina@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5 I messed up my kernel, so I used the openSUSE recovery from my boxed set. I didn't notice in the grub menu the (quite hidden) option to change from x86_64 (default) to x86 (My computer is a pentium 4). I proceeded with the system recovery and it reinstalled my kernel. However after booting, my graphics was messed up and would cause the computer to hard freeze. After booting in run level 3, I discovered that the kernel was running with x86_64 variety (as revealed by uname -a). I've since reinstalled the system. The /proc/cpuinfo of my computer is: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 3058.988 cache size : 1024 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 5 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmovpat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc uppebs bts pni monitor ds_cpl tm2 cid cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 6117.97 clflush size : 64 power management: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I guess the issue here is then repairing an installation with the wrong arch packages. -- 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.

You want the installer to note you about booting different arch than you have installed, right? -- 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.

As it "repaired" some x86 packages with x86_64 bit ones (which wasn't exactly pretty). -- 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.

Get a x86 install. And use the repair tool from the DVD in x86_64 mode. If there's a problem with some of the x86 packages, it'll happily replace them with x86_64 ones .. which isn't pretty. (I just figured it'd be quicker to start from scratch, hence why I have no log files) -- 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.
