The guest explicitly says it is a 64bit capable CPU (lm flag is present). So it hence must work with a 64bit kernel. A 64bit kernel should be the best choice for a machine with those specifications, so the installer correctly picks and installs that one. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
