Hello. I don't totally agree with this detection. Here we have several 64bits servers which are Intel(R) Xeon(TM) Maybe do we need to check about cpu flags. -- Kennedy van Dam Eric Unix/Storage Team Phone: +32 (0)2 529 3375 Mail: eric.kennedyvandam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -----Message d'origine----- > De : kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] De la part de Klaus Steden > Envoyé : vendredi 26 janvier 2007 19:35 > À : Discussion list about Kickstart > Objet : Re: detecting i386 or x86_64 in kickstart > > > >>I figured /proc/cpuinfo would be the ticket, but I have > no clue what > > >>to look for.
