x60s - can't use 64 bits

#1 Post by meutel » Wed Nov 11, 2009 6:40 am

Hello,
I can no longer boot any 64 bits OS on my x60s. I tried BSD (NetBSD 5 and FreeBSD 8 ) and Linux (debian 5) distributions but it seems the CPU is detected as 686 instead of x86-64.
On debian x86 lshw command outputs:

Code: Select all

Is there BIOS settings or anything that could explain this bad CPU detection?

How did you do it before since the L2400 is not a 64 bit CPU?

FredGarvin is correct: you don't have a 64-bit CPU.

The OSs are correct: 64-bit addressing isn't supported on your machine.

oops, I mistook with another computer (with a T9600 CPU).

Thanks
