Maybe you have sata devices. You can have a punch of solutions to many problems that appear during debian amd64 installation in the list archive. > I'd like to know and be sure that I'm using 64-bit mode, and not 32-bit > mode.

Debian AMD64 is a port based in a 64 bit kernel that supports either 32 and 64bit executables. Up till now all* the binary packages in debian AMD64 are 64bit so you will be what you call 64bit mode. But with the correct configuration and libs you can also run 32bit apps. * I think there's a package with the 32bit version of Openoffice and another package with 32bit librarys to easy the usage of 32 bit apps.
