I can't find a kernel in the archive with that name. It should have the architecture listed in it somewhere.

So, for example, a Pentium 4 with EM64T would identify itself in the same way. Do your processors contain EM64T extensions? > I recently downloaded pine_4.64_i386.deb from > http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/linux.html > and when I tried to instal it I got the following error: > > ####################### > > paris:/home/peter/Downloads# dpkg -i pine_4.64_i386.deb > dpkg: error processing pine_4.64_i386.deb (--install): > package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) > Errors were encountered while processing: > pine_4.64_i386.deb > > ####################### > > Someone else installed this os, and I don't know how they got dpkg to > think it > was an amd system.

However, I've never messed with a 64 bit system, so I don't know exactly how it works. In any case, first verify that you've got a 64 bit or 32 bit processor.
