    John, if you see my post i wrote that "SuSE 9.2 - CD Install" complains that
    I'm going to use 32-bit software in a 64-bit machine so i am sure IT IS
    EM64T.

    Just two more reasons :

    1) Intel site says that all XEON FSB 800Mhz are EM64T.
    2) I've installed SLES9 x86_64 and it worked but i hated it. It has the same
    broken 2.6.x kernel that doesn't recognize my adaptec smartraid V controller
    (dpt_i2o).

    So why the hell "SuSE 9.2 - FTP install" doesn't install the x86_64 packages?
    I definitely think that SUSE x86_64 FTP INSTALL IS BROKEN. It must be a bug,
    what should I do?
