Are you saying that should have installed the 64-bit kernel or that I got the 32-bit kernel I did't realize I was asking for? I've begun the process of re-installing with the amd64 net install image, but on a separate hard drive. I can still boot into the original system, but I did install the linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 package yesterday. The only dependency installed with it was firmware-linux-free:i386. I'll be happy to post the install report from that install if you would still like to see it. Sent - Gtek Web Mail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
