IA64 is Itanium processor--not Xeon.  You need to be using the amd64
version of debian (which does support the 64 bit Intel processor).

See http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianAMD64Faq and


Q: Is this port only for AMD 64-bit CPUs?

A: No. "amd64" is the name chosen by AMD for their 64-bit architecture.
Before release, it was called "x86_64", and some distributions continue
to use this name. Intel refers to its x86_64 instruction set CPUs as
"EM64T". The architecture is still the same, and Debian amd64 will run
on AMD and Intel x86 processors with 64-bit support. In honor of the
inventing company, AMD, Debian uses the name amd64. 

for details.
