A common problem is that people confuse ia64 and amd64 with each
other. I believe you have done so here because your symptoms match
this frequently seen problem. The amd64 hardware exists widely but
ia64 is much less common. Please verify the architecture of your
machine. It is very likely that you are trying to install an ia64
image onto an amd64 architecture machine. In that case the solution
is to use the amd64 installation image instead.
