I've got this new Presario with a 64 bit AMD chip. I installed Debian
on it, but never could get X configured. I've always had better luck
with SuSe on unusual hardware so I installed 9.3. Unfortunately it
installed a 64 bit kernel and other assorted 64 bit programs, but it
won't boot. Now I'm trying to go back and install a 32 bit kernel and
can't figure out how to tell it to do just that. It insists on
installing a 64 bit kernel. I looked in the packages but there isn't a
package listed anywhere that suggests it is linux or kernel or whatever.
Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm staring at the Yast screen,
"Installations settings" right now. I'm booting from a minimal cdrom
and doing a network install.
Thanks,
Jim.
