Well, test it: install mcelog on a 32-bit hardware system running 32-bit Debian, and see if it does. Then, see if it works. Stef

Then, see if it works. Sure if I can find one. I haven't had a 32-bit machine for many years. I have two Athlon 64 and an Intel Q8200 machines. :) -- "The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use.

Got rid of my last two 32-bit desktops a couple years ago. And the Thinkpad 240X I have and still use, I don't want to risk screwing up the very custom install of Debian Etch on it by trying to install mcelog. I thought about installing 32-bit Debian in a 32-bit VM (VirtualBox) on my 64-bit machine to see if I could do the test, but unfortunately in a VM running 32-bit Puppy Linux, /proc/cpuinfo shows the host 64-bit CPU and not a 32-bit one. So, I don't know if this will skew the test or not. Stef

So, I don't know if this will skew the test or not. No big deal. I just wanted to try it on this old Athlon 64 X2 system anyways. -- "The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use.

Why did you install 32- bit Debian on a 64-bit box in the first place? Stef |
