Binand, when you ask "detect" 64-bitness in a kickstart, do you mean in
the initial options to determine a repo to use, or in %pre / %post? If
the latter, `uname -i` should suffice.
I didn't ask this question - it was Jason Edgecombe who started this
thread. I just wanted to extricate myself from the various
alphanumero-underscoric acronyms when it came to processor
architectures :)

To summarize the thread, the final analysis says that the i386/ia_64
logic cannot be done in kickstart and must be done earlier in the boot
process. There was a feature suggestion on the syslinux mailing list
about having a 32bit default vs a 64bit default. Branching in syslinux
looks to be the best option.
