[gentoo-user] Problem Installing a gentoo | cross compiling install ?

[Keats]

Hi, 

here is my problem : 
i have acces to my remote server 
and i want to install gentoo on it. 

the problems are : 
-during the install process i can only boot in a rescue mode with 32bit linux 2.4 kernel
-my remote processor is a xeon with 64bits 

if during the installation i choose to use stage3-ia64, i can't doing nothing like chroot cause /bin/bash is 64 bits and the kernel running is 32bits... 

if i choose to boot a stage3-x86 and do my install wwith it... when i ll reboot, i ll not be able to make an upgrade to 64bit api cause my kernel will be in 32 bits... 

is there any solution ? 
thanx.

Hi,
Have you tried booting with install-ia64-minimal-2006.0 CD ? it's 56 MB.
Afterwards you could use "stage3-ia64-2006.0.tar.bz2".

i can't boot on a medium

the only way way to boot is to use what my hoster provide...

Why can't you do the stage3-x86 then reboot to a 32bit kernel.  Once you
do that you should be able to compile a 64-bit kernel and add a new grub
menu item for your new 64bit compiled kernel and make sure to set it as
the default.

So basically you will have to do the base system twice.  Once for 32bit.
 Once the 32bit is up and running, you then compile a 64bit kernel and
boot into that and then just recompile your system.

I am not sure if the above will work since I have never had to do it.
Just thought I throw out the suggestion :)
