It is only way to upgrade existing 32 bit install to trixie, because trixie no longer has i686 kernel.But the results of uname is difinitive. A 64-bit kernel won't run on a 32-bit CPU, although a 32-bit kernel will run on a 64-bit processor. So if the *kernel* is 64-bit, the processor is 64-bit. It is possible to have both 32-bit and 64-bit user-mode programms installed [on a 64-bit processor with a 64-bit kernel], if all of the proper libraries, including the /lib/ld-linus-*.so files. (I guess it is possible to install a 64-bit kernel and all 32-bit user-mode files, but why would one do that?)
