Hmm, -how- did you build it ? In the note in section 7.12 it says you
have to be running pure64 or multilib, so what is your host ? From
here, it looks as if you are still running on an i686 host (apart from
anything else, you could just chroot). The static build only stops it
from depending on /tools/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2.
The point is, if you haven't booted a 64-bit kernel on the target
machine, you can't install lilo using the book's instructions. If you
are using a 32-bit kernel, you'll have to build lilo (or grub)
natively as i686 and use that to allow you to boot a 64-bit kernel.
Bootloaders are always ugly, and for x86_64-64 you cannot execute lilo
(the installer) unless your running kernel is 64-bit. You can build
lilo on pretty much anything (I've built it on ppc), but there is no
way of running a 64-bit lilo installer from a 32-bit i686 kernel.
