Hi Frank,
Hi, Maciek,

What is the output of
  dpkg --print-architecture
?

Oh... it says i386.

You probably have "mixed" installation (i386 userland and amd64 kernel).
I had once that. (First installed i386 debian and next upgraded kernel
to amd64)

Yes, this might have been the case. I remember that I once had troubles with the amd64-iso-images... so I installed i386 and made an update to amd64 using apt. Might be that this was on that machine.

So you should install amd64 debian (entire system not only kernel),

This might be a little problem, because the machine I'm talking about is already located at my ISPs computing center... so that I've no physical access to it. :-( Is there no other way for a clean switch to amd64?

or make small amd64 chrooted  environment (in order to install VBox)
(Once I did so . Now I come back to pure i386 :-)

Hmm... never did this. Do you have a link for a good Howto?

TIA & cheers,
Andy
