I was confused about that. I tried the Etch i386 linux-image-2.6-amd64
kernel last night, but ran into weird module problems. I wasn't sure
of it was a bug or if I was using a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit system.
Running the system on linux-image-2.6-486 got rid of the module issues.

Is the linux-image-2.6-amd64 package truly compiled for a 32-but user
space?
