Thank you Andy ! [EMAIL PROTECTED] admin]# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model model : 5 model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 model : 5 model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 .. it looks pretty clear that I am stuck in 32-bit world on this IBM e325 box. No way around that. Oh well .. I will try to plow forwards regardless. There are some pictures at : http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/opensolaris/SchilliX/ SchilliX boots fine and seems to do what it does. The network device can be configured and I can ping the outside world. For a lark I will now create a second interface on a virtual net VMnet1 and then get BeleniX booted up with dual nics also. This should be fun. VMWare really rocks :-) Dennis
