Follow the manual _carefully_: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64 * You want to do a 64-bit, "amd64" installation. Do _not_ use anything that says "i686" in the filename. * You need to read and understand every manual section before you do that section. * I highly recommend cuting/pasting the example commands from the manual into the terminal where you are doing the install (instead of typing them manually). * Make sure you start out booting some sort of _64_bit_ live ISO to do the install (either the Gentoo minimal install or systemrescuecd or whatever). * Verify the signatures of the downloaded files.

It's for 32-bit processors. You want a 64-bit amd64 one. You're also running a 32-bit kernel instead of a 64-bit one. If I were you, I'd start over from scratch. -- Grant
