This is what I get when I run a 32bit rhel3as on a 64bit blade: [root@xxxxxxx root]# uname -a Linux xxxxxxx 2.4.21-40.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Feb 2 22:22:39 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@xxxxxxx root]# dmidecode | grep Product Product Name: ProLiant BL20p G [root@xxxxxxx root]# lspci -v | grep 64-bit 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6300ESB 64-bit PCI-X Bridge (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Memory at fdef0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at fdee0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Memory at fde80000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] Memory at fdff0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at fdfe0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at fdfd0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] I had hoped that some of the CPU flags would identify what I was looking for, but sadly I know too little about the subject. It would be nice to have a tool that can identify this without any doubt.
