| Hi Guys, I just got a with a Xeon 5110 processor that supports EM64T. Do I use the x86 installer or the amd64 installer to get a 64bit version of Gentoo installed? |

|
|
I tried to boot off the amd64 livecd but I got a kernel panic.
I am running a 5110 series CPU that supports EM64T but no luck with booting amd64.
Can I install i686 and change the make.conf to allow for x86_64?

No, you need to start by booting a 64bit kernel if you want to do a 64bit installation.
EDIT : You are not limited to using a Gentoo CD, though. If you can get a 64bit Ubuntu CD or some other distro's 64bit LiveCD to boot on your hardware, then you can install Gentoo from there. |
