Thanks. I really should block yahoo completely, only get spam from *@yahoo.*

Thanks to everybody. etch is working on 850/860. An yes, ia64 is itanium, not EM64T like the DELL 850/860 are, my fault - perhaps this is the reason why its not a bootable image

Etch is looking more like a desktop as a server OS, isnt it? on sarge only the minimum is selected and installed, eg. ssh server but no GUI. On etch ihad to deselect the desktop environment, standard system i left selected, thought its a must have.

my dell PE 860 has a Intel DualCore Xeon with hyper-threading, my Dell PE 850 only has a Intel P4 with HT. On both i only see two processors (for sure, the dualcore has two physical core, P4 only one physical and one logical).. Why i dont see four cores on my DualCore? DO i need a special kernel-image or something?

Thanks!

Ben

Are you runnning a SMP kernel?

Try "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and see if it shows both CPUs and the number of
cores in each.
