Leandro, I have gotton my x86_64 SI server running from teh packages of 3.2.3. Here are the things I had to go through in order to get it working correctly...
1. Download the tar file for x86_64 and place in the platforms directory (I will get the link to the file and exact dir lcoation when I am back at my server) 2. Remove the references in mkautoinstall* checking for platform. Line 115 I think off hand in the mkautoinstalldiskette. 3. Place the x86_64 boot files into the x386 dir when I created my boot cd's. With this done I was able to image a x86_64 server. Hope this helps..I will try and get more details for you later once I am back in the office and can look at my Si server.

I have tried *ALL* available versions without sucess. The errors apears in a lot of diferent places and i can go more far with 3.4.0rc1 version. What's wrong with this architeture? Anyone is testing it? Some versions, like 3.3.2, dosen't have any support, or mention, for x86_64! The kernel.rul error in version 3.2.3 is pretty obivious, and shows me that: Systemimager dosen't support x86_64! In my last attempt to build a systemimager server on an x86_64 running RedHat Enterprise WS 3 was a disaster, and i have tried to compile just the boot package to put on a existing Xeon systemimager server i have and i don't have sucess either. Anyone have systemimager running with sucess on an x86_64 cluster? I have tried all i can reach to put this working, and now i quit.... If Anyone can give some help, it will be great!!!
