To summarize the thread, the final analysis says that the i386/ia_64

about having a 32bit default vs a 64bit default. Branching in syslinux
looks to be the best option.
Perhaps you need to explain a bit more about what you wanted to _do_ with that
detection. There are many things you could do in %pre based on what kernel
is loaded. It would require conscious thought on what kernel to boot at
syslinux or pxelinux, but that isn't very hard.
Basically, I wanted to autodetect a 32/64 bit processor and install the
proper 32/64 bit RedHat based on the processor type.
I've found out since that my users aren't clamoring for 64bit and I'll
probably want to consciously choose 32/64bit rather than autodetect.
Sincerely,
