Installing SL 5.3 i386 via http, on a DELL PowerEdge2650, I get
the following error:
" Your cpu does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution"
My boot.iso, is, of course the i386 version !
With SL 4.8 the same procedure works fine.
I also tried 5.0, which fails too.
Any idea ?

Hi,
The install images is usually right.
A test to see if you are trying to install a 64 bit machine,
First mount the boot.iso image, or mount the net install CD
And then do a "file" on the vmlinuz file, which is at "isolinux/vmlinuz"
It will then say if it is an ELF 32-bit, or an ELF 64-bit.
As an example, I have mounted a 32 bit install on /mnt/tmp1 and a 64 bit
install on /mnt/tmp2
# file /mnt/tmp1/isolinux/vmlinuz /mnt/tmp2/isolinux/vmlinuz
/mnt/tmp1/isolinux/vmlinuz: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386,
version 1, stripped
/mnt/tmp2/isolinux/vmlinuz: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64,
version 1, stripped
I hadn't even noticed until right now that we don't say "i386" or
"x86_64" in the boot message for SL5. We're fixing that right now, and
SL 5.4 should say in the boot message if you are doing i386 or x86_64.
