I was > pretty sure that a C240 is a 64bit system. PDC on the C240 (and similar C-models of that generation) only support PDC calls in "narrow" (ie 32-bit) mode. Sounds like the decision to install 32 vs 64-bit depends on the PDC capabilities bit. Can anyone offhand confirm/deny? BTW, though the C240 has a PA2.0 CPU (ergo 64-bit capable), I'm not sure rbrad has been able to resolve all the issues when trying to run 64-bit kernels on his C200. He did resolve many of them - including support for 32-bit PDC calls from 64-bit kernels. grant Grant Grundler parisc-linux {PCI|IOMMU|SMP} hacker +1.408.447.7253
