Core 2 Duo perhaps not recognized as x86_64?
Hi,
I installed Edgy Eft on my new laptop that has a Core 2 Duo T7200 CPU. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Core 2 Duo are x86_64 I think. But when I do uname -a, I get:
Linux jaiba 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP Thu Feb 1 19:52:28 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
This looks to me like it is not recognizing the processor as x86_64 despite the fact that I am using the generic kernel. Is this correct? Am I misunderstanding something? In /proc/cpuinfo, I see that both processors are recognized, but there is nothing obvious that indicates 64 bit capabilities.
When I originally installed, I believe I selected the generic desktop ISO, but I thought that changing to the generic kernel would allow me to get the x86_64 stuff out of my CPU. Perhaps I need to reinstall using the 64Bit version of the ubuntu ISO?
Thanks for the help.
