Hi Remco, Why are you installing amd64 base when you are using intel processors? You have to use ia64 in the first place. -igor

I installed it with the amd64 install cd, and then used nocona in my make.conf. But the problem turned out to be a bad DIMM, and dell replaced it. Remco

I figured it out too, -you were right to use amd64 kernel. Later in the makeconf you can choose the right architecture (EM64T), ia64 does not really apply because xeons are not true 64-bit architecure but rather a 32-bit extension.
