Bug#409224: Unable to install on Intel DG965SS

["Toby Chamberlain" <toby@webtechservices.com.au>]

Hi Geert,

Thanks for replying.

I read those 2 bug reports you mentioned and noticed that they both used the 
amd64 build rather than the i386 build I was using... am I correct in 
assuming that the amd64 build should be used for Core 2 Duo processors? I 
downloaded the latest amd64 builds and have managed to get a USB install 
working.

In doing this I noticed that the daily i386 USB installer I had used was 
using a 2.6.17 kernel, while the daily CD images are using 2.6.18 - which is 
presumably why I was getting the mismatched kernel errors. When I first got 
the error I downloaded fresh daily builds again to make sure I had the same 
versions, so unless I mucked up the copy to the USB, I believe that the i386 
USB daily builds are out of sync with the CD images (or at least, they were 
at 31/1/2007).

Thanks again,
Toby
