Definitely a problem. > livecd gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo bin/bash > chroot: cannot run command `bin/bash': Exec format error Your 32-but kernel can't run the 64-bit bash. You'll have to use a 64-bit kernel (or as 32-bit stage3, and then gradually recompile) > I did use LVM2 for partitioning but other than that I have followed the > handbook very throughly.

No need to really do a full install, just enough so you can compile a 64-bit kernel and install and configure your bootloader to load the 64-bit kernel. That should be as easy as lvcreate, format, mount, extract 32-bit stage3, cp over /etc/resolv.conf, chroot, emerge <your_favorite>-sources, cd /usr/src/<whatever>, zcat /proc/config.gz > .config, make oldconfig, make, emerge grub, mount /boot, grub-install, make install, umount boot, shutdown -r now.
