I have to install on a server Gentoo 2004.3 (I can't have the last release beacuse company of server uses only this version) but on CD-Rom there isn't stage3 for AMD 64 but only for x86 and Pentium. So I'm trying to search it in ftp mirror of gentoo but nothing.

How can I do?
Pls HELP ME
Thank u very much for your help

The amd64 stage file is on the amd64 cd. You seem to have an x86 cd which is 32-bit only. The amd64 cd has 64-bit stuff.
Here are old stage files for amd64 2004.3 http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/historical/amd64/2004.3/stages/

K done... thx very much; you are the best

But an other problem: I'm reading about CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS and i don't understand if I have to set up this variable:

after what I know, native amd64 means that your system is full amd64,all librairies are 64 bit, and not 32 bit, but it could have emulation for 32 bit... For the CFLAGS, i suggest you -march=k8.

So if I want 64 bit and 32 bit system I have to use CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -pipe -O2"?

No not really, you could use 32 bit programs with a native 64 bit using emulation. So you can also use that

livecd gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
:cry:

did you try to get an amd64 install disk instead of your x86 one?

Company gives me this disk but I use stage3 for amd64bit downloaded from internet; is this the problem?

It would seem so. If the kernel and everything outside the chroot is x86_32, it would seem logical that you can't run any amd64 binaries... =)

So what can I do?

If I restar the server I have to ask to company to start ssh service and give me a new password. No?

uhm, yeah, probably... not to mention that you have to tell them to switch the boot-cd and all...

you could still do an x86_32 install...

This is definitely a bug.I got the same message and did a new install painstakingly following the manual.The same error keeps coming back.I am sure I installed the right files and made no mistakes .Two weeks ago Gentoo installed perfectly on this machine,so it is not the computer;Used "-march=k8" and current and latest.

It was a bug ,but not in the sense I thought.Somehow the CD got damaged in use,did a new download from another server and it works again.
