that has the checksum for the i386 version, not amd64. i poked around and found a directory for amd64 that did have am md5sum file but it was for other files than the one I downloaded. The directory contained five other amd64 iso's, all different from the one I downloaded. I have manged now to boot the usb stick but the install program can't find the right kernel modules even tho there is an initrd on the stick. I think it is only looking at the hard drives.
