You've selected the incorrect architecture. IA64 is for Intel Itanium 
processors, not "regular" 64-bit PC processors.

You want a CD for the amd64 architecture.

This is documented in quite a few places as unfortunately it's a mistake 
that is made fairly often.

Cheers,

creating a bootable CD ...

[nanoinverno]

Hello,

I want to install debian 5 but have a stupid problem:

ich can't create a bootable CD from the debian-500-ia64-netinst.iso or 
debian-500-ia64-businesscard.iso. Also the debian-500-ia64-DVD-1.iso doesn't 
boot.

I'm not a novice so it is embarrassing, somewhere I made a stupid mistake.

I burned 8 CDs by different manufacturer with different programs (winXP - 
NeroBurningRom 6.6.0.8, ImgBurn 2.4.2.0) but no one is bootable on any PC.

Boot-message: "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in 
selected boot device and press a key"

i did not burned the iso on the cd and i did not forgot to change bios-settings 
- the CDs and the DVD is readable, so it is not dirty or something...

thanks for any ideas where my mistake could be

Benjamin
