On the Asus website, this is not an IA64 motherboard, but a X86-64
(amd64) one. Trying an amd64 version of Debian could help...
On the ASUS website the board has an Intel Chipset with LGA 2011 CPU socket:
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_X79/#overview
LGA 2011 is compatible with Intel 64-bit processors including "Sandy Bridge:"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_2011
And that seemed to clinch it, except that the damn thing wasn't working, so I
went to a third source and discovered why I was wrong:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/amd64
The news to me is that INTEL ever deigned to release something whose instruction
set is commonly known as AMD-anything. I've been assuming that "Intel 64" would
be "IA64" instruction set and "AMD 64" would be "AMD64" instruction set. So...
You're right. I shouldn't have said "IA64" in the first place, to describe
either of the machines this is from. I should have said "Intel 64-bit
processor"
which I had been assuming was the same thing. More to the point I should not
have
downloaded the IA64 images.
Thank you.
