Intel says the Intel Atom CPU N2600 @ 1.60GHz is 64bit[1]. The am64
kernel is the right one.

Call off the dogs, you and several other are correct, and I should not
be
posting bad info at 3 or 4 am when the only reason I'm up at all is to
take the recyclables to the curb. Its just that I've been running the
32
bit versions so well for more than half a decade I was convinced that
was the way to fly.
But does this not leave the OP scratching his head, wondering why his
machine won't boot? So we are back to the starting square and I'm out
of
ammo. At this point I'd run memtest86 long enough, at least overnight,
to verify its not bad memory, and if it is, reseat the lappy style
dimm,
they are getting old enough that if the air is bad, some contact
exercise might be in order. Mine never get turned off except for power
failures, so thermal stress in the atoms mounting has not stuck up a
hand yet. For those that are shut down, thermal cycling might begin to
be a problem.
I'm going back to bed, where anyone my age ought to be this time of the
morning since he's busy building a wheelchair ramp so I can bring my
xyl
home with a busted osteoporosis riddled leg. If I ever find the guy
that
called these the golden years, I'd like to see where the gold is in his
house.
