>From what you've described this far, I can only assume you're trying to boot this image on a PC-compatible system. That *will not work*. "ia64" is for Intel Itanium machines only. If you're looking for a 64-bit version of Debian for a PC, you'll want to download the "amd64" version. >I have tried to burn the iso image on three different machines, and >with three different types of cd burning software.

All the CD burning software can be doing is comparing what you've written to the image file you have. If there's a difference there, that can't be a problem with the image we've produced. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
