[BlueOnyx:09877] Problem with ISO images

[Chuck Tetlow]

Hi Michael,

Sorry to add to your already heaped workload - but I've run into a problem this afternoon. 

After purchasing some of your software night before last - I got to installing some new servers today.  I pulled the latest ISO off the updates.blueonyx.it website.  I carefully chose the 5107R version with date 20120313 - since my first install was a slightly older Dell 2560 server.  My understanding is those Xeon chips in it were only 32 bit, so the 5107R was the right version opposed to the 5108R version.

But when I started the install, the first screen that came up said "Welcome to BlueOnyxx 5108R!".  Uh oh!  I was sure I'd pulled the right version and put it on CD, so I went ahead.  Sure enough it installed - at which point I wasn't sure it was because I had the right version with wrong labels, or my server's Xeon chips were 64 bit?? 

And while watching the packages install - most were named with .686, with just a couple named .386.  So once again - I wasn't sure I'd installed a 32bit or 64bit version.

I VERY CAREFULLY pulled another copy of the software on a older P4 machine, fired up VirtualBox, and started a install on a VM.  It again said 5108R in the install splash screen.  But on this one - the install failed with a error about the kernel needing PAE features.

So I'm left scratching my head.  I can't tell whether I have the right version labeled wrong, or the wrong version.  But I am finding some errors on GUI menus and in the labels - so maybe I am running the wrong version on this machine.

Can you tell us how to determine whether we have a 32bit or 64bit version - once its already running??

Thanks Michael.

Chuck
