ia64 LiveCD boot problem on x86_64 machine

Hi,

I'm trying to install ia64 Gentoo on an Intel 2 core x86_64 machine with LiveCD but when I chose the CD drive as boot device it hangs on the screen. I checked the downloaded packages using md5sum and they seem ok. I tried the x86 LiveCD and it worked fine.

I wonder if anyone can give me some hints why ia64 LiveCD is not working on my machine.

best regards and thanks,
Ali

Hi,

the ia64 CD is for Ithanium processors. You should use the amd64 one.

If I am not mistaken the ia64 is for itanium processors. You want the amd64
arch.
