Rep:
Corrupt kernel problems with installing
Good day, I have tried installing Dreamstudio 64 bit and Ultimate Edition 64 bit on my Dell Inspiron Zino, but neither will start, instead I read of a corrupt or invalid kernel.
From lscpu I find:
Architecture: i686
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 2
Corrupt or invalid kernels might point to a hardware problem. I recommend to run Memtest86+ and a harddisk diagnosis toll first, to rule that possibility out.
Assuming that lscpu is giving you information about the hardware, then this indicates that you cannot run a 64bit. The line

CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
tells you the following.

lscpu is telling you that your architecture is i686 (an Intel 32-bit CPU), and that your CPU supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating modes. You won't be able to install x64 built applications since they're built specifically for x64 architectures.
The Dell Inspiron Zino comes in the minimal configuration with an AMD Athlon X2 CPU, Phenom CPUs are also available. Any of these CPUs is fully 64 bit capable.
