Description Ivan Rancati 2005-08-19 11:00:22 UTC
I booted with the Beta2 CD1 on my 
Medio Titanium MD8386 computer (it's a popular brand in Germany, sold by the
supermarket chain Aldi)

The processor is a P4 3.2Ghz with hypertreading (perhaps this is what confused
the cd boot), definitely 32 bit

When I booted I saw this message

Cool computer, but...
You are about to install 32 bit software on a 64 bit computer

Logging with severity=minor, as the following parts of the setup correctly
identified the processor as a 32 bit P4

Please provide YaST2 logs and hwinfo output, see:
http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST

You can also check yourself if "lm" (long mode) is listed
among the flags in /proc/cpuinfo.
