Ah, sorry - there's a bit of confusion here. Thanks for continuing on and posting that image link, it's very helpful! The meny you're looking at is the initial bootloader menu (syslinux). d-i has *not* yet started here. Any of the menu choices here will start the 64-bit kernel and that's why you're seeing the hang on your 32-bit system. Ian - am I totally mis-remembering that there used to be a "can't start on 32-bit " style message in the amd64 kernel? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, A state of bliss -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
