Hehe, That's explains a lot. I should have thought about it, even if
it's not that big issue to me.

Thx Rajko

Your AM2 CPU will be a 64bit CPU presumably, so you won't need to
change the kernel, unless you're using 32bit openSUSE.

Hi,

At which point during the installation do you choose 32-bit or 64-bit?
It occurred to me that I've never got to install 64-bit openSUSE.

While we are on this topic, so if you are currently on the default
kernel, to move to the bigsmp kernel, you simply use Software
Management to uninstall the default kernel and install the bigsmp
kernel?

Would that mean that for modules that you compiled by hand will have
to be re-compiled?

Usually you use the whole 64bit Opensuse. I'm not quite sure if it's
that smart to use the 64bit kernel with 32bit userland.

Well first I've installed bigsmp kernel, reconfigured the kernel source,
compiled modules for bigsmp and then after some testing removed the
default kernel.

Affirmative.

Thx Benji!
I use 32bit indeed. I think I'll stick to it (bigsmp) for now.
The move to the new Asrock motherboard (alias Frankenstein) went smooth,
beside the one issue with udev and that stupid CM6501.

Hi,

At which point during the installation do you choose 32-bit or 64-bit?




When you choose to use the 32-bit installation DVD or
the 64-bit installation DVD.



It occurred to me that I've never got to install 64-bit openSUSE.

Ah... that's why I don't like to automate things too much. Makes me
forget. I only visit the download page once per release =P

Thanks!

You can choose to download the 32-bit ISO or the 64-bit ISO.
