And there it is - you are running a 32-bit system with a 64-bit kernel.

Cheers,
Tom

And how do I correct this?
Simple: install linux-image-686-pae, which will pull in the current
kernel for your release.

Complicated: reinstall using Debian amd64.

Note: All of my source.list entries are prefaced with [arch=amd64,i386].
This is not really necessary unless you want to use different sources
per arch (which is not your case, you're using the same sources).

Kind regards,

I think we have a misunderstanding here. I am running a 64 bit system. While I can boot to the linux-image-686-pae kernel, this will set up a 32 bit OS which is not what I want. I'm running an Intel DP55KG board with an i5-750, 4 core 64 bit buss processor and would like to use the full capability of the board.

If the software is thinking that I am running a 32 bit system, then something desperately needs correcting. But what?
