Slackware appears to fail to recognize Intel Xeon E5-2690
by makyo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JWPW)
Hi.
I tried to install Slackware 15 on a server that has Intel Xeon E5-2690, under Oracle VirtualBox 7. The error message was that this needed a 64-bit system.
OSs that successfully handled an install were Debian12, SuSe, Fedora39, sidiuction, ubuntu23, and manjaro, all currently running successfully.
Slack has that in common with Haiku -- they both issue the same message, as does gparted.
I searched "Intel Xeon E5-2690" here and found nothing.
Suggestions? Thanks ... cheers makyo
