If there would be an addititional menu which gives one the possibility to choose such a mixed system then I would be able to choose a mixed system.
But in this case, there is an <Install>, suggesting a 32-bit overall system and on the other hand <64 bit install> for an overall 64-bit system.
I choosed <Install>, so I wanted to get a 32-bit system, not expecting some magic in finding a suitable kernel for my system.. :)
