I wondered about that i386 too. It has an AMD64 processor and runs an AMD64 kernel: april:/farhome/hendrik# uname -a Linux april 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux april:/farhome/hendrik# But, I figured, didn't 64-bit machines boot as 32-bit and then switch modes early in the boot procedure? Still puzzled what to do, though. Perhaps there's some parameter I should have specified at original gpt partitioning time? -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
