1	Hi
2
3	I have just purchased a new computer with a AMD Semphron 2800+ 64 bit
4	processor. I am installing it following the gentoo handbook of the amd64
5	architecture - only I am using the x86 minimal livecd (2005-r1) and the
6	stage3-amd64-2005.1-r1.tar.bz2 tarball. Shouldn that be a problem?
7
8	When I get to step 6a (chrooting)
9	http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=6#doc_chap1
10	I get the following error:
11
12	livecd gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo bin/bash
13	chroot: cannot run command `bin/bash': Exec format error
14
15	I did use LVM2 for partitioning but other than that I have followed the
16	handbook very throughly. I hope someone has a solution. Please feel free to
17	ask for any information that may be helpful.
