Hi,
I have Dell powerEdge 1850, with dual processor 3.6 GHz, I bought SLE 9.0 and used the x86 CD when installtion starts i got a message " you are installing 32 bit software on 64 bit computer" to my knowledge the specs are for 32 bit I continued the installtion with no problem...but should i use the EMT64T( i tried it did not give this message but there alot of errors loading modules
I will install oracle on this server..
If the specs say that the chips are 32-bit, then stay with the 32-bit OS. 64-bit won't work well or at all.
The CD may have 32 bit on one side and 64 bit on the other, I know that 9.1 and 9.2 shipped that way. If you install the 32 bit side on a 64 bit machine, that's the message you will get.
I believe it was the DVD that was doubled sided, not the CD's. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
