CPU doesn't support long mode. need a 32 bit distr. Help?

[amiby]

Hey people..

I'm new to this so I did not have the change to check if this question is asked before.

I've to install Gentoo using liveCD (universal) on my laptop. it is a AMD Athlon XP 1800+. 1533MHz. I know now I downloaded the wrong version.
(install-amd64-universal-2004.3-r1.iso.asc) because I get the following error:

"Your CPU does not support long mode use a 32 bit distribution"

can some one direct me where to download such a distr. or what do I have to modify. two things I can't modify.... 1: It has to be installed on this AMD laptop and 2: it has to be a Gentoo distr. (don't ask me why)

thanks in advance

grab yourself an iso from a mirror:

Or why not make use of P2P? (yes, unlike most "media wise guys"/"RIAA/MPAA employerrs/CEOs" think BitTorrent can be used for legal things - just like a CD-R can be used to store otherthigns than mp3z )

You downloaded the AMD 64 bit version. You need the x86 version.

To save bandwidth, just get the minimal LiveCD for gentoo (AMD Athlon version if you want stage2, x86 for stage1).
Unless of course you actually WANT a stage3, in which case I have to wonder why you use gentoo....

stage 3 is a good thing the first time around when u r in a hurry to get it up and dont have the paitence to read and try to understand the CFLAGS. and it gives the newb the system in a matter of hours(though my and64 gets me up in 4 hours 49minutes with E! and firefox from a stage1) then they have the tools or atleast some of them to do a proper gentoo install the 2nd time around.
(and still have some brain cells to play with the system with)

Stage 1 with NPTL and GCC3.4.3 on a Stage3 Tarball.

Stage1/2 are useless :P

No I hadn't read that, interesting though.
I might try that next time.
Again, though, I already have a large cache of up to date distro files that I'd rather use than have to DL a big ISO.

stage 3 tarball is 83MB

not exactly huge :P

LOL....... stage1 is the only way to go.....but it will take some time to learn that. it is not that it takes longer... it dose... it is the fact that you can tweek it more!.
though my first install was stage3 a year or so ago that has since been mrgrated to nptl/udev/gcc3.4.x...

and when he says get the minamal x86 livecd(51mb) he dosnt mean that that is for stage1 that is just enough to give you a kernel to boot off of and an inet connx to d/l whatever stage tarball that you want! ane to install from...vs. grabbing the full disc 1 x86 livecd (699mb)
