Hi Goswin: I did not install ia32. However, looking at the sources.list and commented lines, I fear I did a big mistake:
I have a commeted line # deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free and corresponding deb-src I fear that at some stage this line was not commented and, lacking amd64, created the mess of mixing amd64 etch with 32 etch. It is a pity because I got kernel 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp #2 SMP correct for my hardware and correct raid1. Well, I believe that the best is to reinstall amd64 etch from installer etch beta 2 that I still have, and then net. I stiil have the procol that was correct, except the sources.list that may have been wrong at some stage. At any rate I need pure 64bit, no ia32, no 32 chroot. Would you be so kind to list the correct format deb ftp:// for amd64 and deb htt:/secure .. for security updates It should avoid dropping again into a mistake.
