Try the amd64 disk. The IA64 disk is for Itanium CPUs, which are different from most 64-bit CPUs.

I have a intel dual-core cpu which supports 64-bit mode, and I want to install a IA64 etch on it, so i burn the etch IA64 iso CD, but i cannot boot from it! I guess it's caused by my bios not supporting 64-bit mode, it's a ami bios v02.57 which has neither information about 64bit nor hyper threading features, so i want to update the bios.
Is there any tool to update the ami bios on a msi motherboard in debian? thanks!
