64 Bit RHEL on IBM Blade HS20 ?

[crofti]

Hi

I am trying to install x86_64 RHEL V4.6 on an HS20 Blade ( 8832 - 21X )

But it comes up with the message

"Your CPU does not support long mode - Use a 32 bit distribution"

However when I look at the support pages of IBM and RedHat both say it is supported.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Ian

To my knowledge, those blade units contain Pentium-era Xeon processors which are only 32-bit processors.

You should try to install the 32-bit x86 version of RHEL on it, it's not possible to install any 64-bit system onto a 32-bit processor.
