Whenever I do a rhn_register on the server, RHN assigns it the 32-bit software channel and not the X86_64. Is this a normal behavior for demo subscriptions? Regards, Emilio A.

But only do this if: # uname -mpi returns: x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 to be *absolutely* sure you're running a 64-bit version. I would strongly recommend working with your Red Hat representative to report this issue. They will need to know the specifics on the hardware to know exactly why anaconda wrote this out instead of what was expected. Thanks.
