24 Thank you and Mike for your answers, cause the amd64 arch name was not
25 leading me to thinking that is generic for x86_64 at all :)
26 well, the next Q might be actually something related to a driver for the
27 raid controller on that machine.
28 It's a SATA SCSI controller (it is an IBM if I remeber) and there is a
29 CD with the driver (for RHEL or Suse Enterpr. of course :)), and I will
30 wonder myself how I will detect and use the raid arrays. well I hope
31 I'll figure it out.
