OK but I try to use Debian Etch i386 arch with linux-image-2.6-amd64.
I think I must use this linux-image because of my Intel Core 2 CPU.

So I try to install nvidia driver for my nvidia card (from lspci)
nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT]

but get an error message:
-------->

Build of the package nvidia-kernel-source failed!
How do you wish to proceed?

What this error mean?
Must I leave the i386 arch and install amd64 before can proceed with
nvidia install?
