Hi list,

But I was wondering if the Soekris CPU E6xx  is really a 64 bit CPU ? or
if the openBSD kernel amd64 includes 32-bit in it. In this case, I might
reinstall my system.

OpenBSD/amd64 only runs in 64-bit mode.

Seems so. Ubuntu and Gentoo work perfectly fine with a 64-Bit kernel out
of the box. Without any patching. So the CPU seems to be 64-Bit
capable.. I don't know, why Intel says, that this is not possible.

The CPU is supposed to only support 32-bit mode but it appears that the
6501 bios may not set this up correctly.

I don't understand. How can a 32-Bit CPU work in 64-Bit Mode? I can't image, that the BIOS makes the difference. Linux shows the flags lm, which indicated, that it supports "AMD64/EM64T"?

Cheers,
Conrad
