Double check,  On my Intel Core Duo I don't have 64 bit
extensions - 
look for em64t in cat /proc/cpuinfo IIRC.

YEAH, GRUB NEVER USES SD* NAMES, ALWAYS HD* AND ALWAYS IN
THE ORDER 
PRESENTED 
BY BIOS (AS OPPOSED TO LINUX, WHICH PRESENTS THEM AS THEY
ARE DISCOVERED 
THROUGH DEVICE PROBING WITH NAMES DEPENDENT ON THE
MODULE/SUBSYSTEM).

YOU CAN PROBABLY USE GRUB TAB-COMPLETION TO DETERMINE THE
CORRECT (HD*) 
SETTING.  GENERALLY, YOUR BOOT PARTITION WILL HAVE A VMLINUX
OR VMLINUZ 
FILE 
ON IT. SO, THE WORKFLOW WOULD GO SOMETHING LIKE:

GRUB> (HD<TAB>
0 1
GRUB> (HD0,<TAB>
0 1 2 3
GRUB> (HD0,0)/VM<TAB>
GRUB> (HD0,1)/VM<TAB>
GRUB> (HD0,2)/VM<TAB>
VMLINUZ VMLINUZ.OLD VMLINUZ-GENTOO-2.6.19-R2
VMLINUZ-GENTOO-2.6.18-R6

AT THIS POINT YOU KNOW YOUR /BOOT PARTITION IS (HD0,2) IN
GRUB-SPEAK.

IF DON'T HAVE A DEDICATED /BOOT PARTITION, AND INSTEAD IT'S
PART OF THE / 
FILESYSTEM YOU'LL WANT TO LOOK FOR BOOT/VMLINUX OR
BOOT/VMLINUZ INSTEAD.  
THIS MAY WORK EVEN IF YOU HAVE A /BOOT PARITION, SINCE SOME

DITROS/ADMINISTRATOR PUT A SYMBOLIC LINK "BOOT" TO
"." IN /BOOT WHEN IT'S 
ON 
A PARTITION BY ITSELF.

I personally used the minimal cd to install, but I'm also a
person who
uses stage1 installs :P
basically, livecd=noob and minimal=tech

I wouldn't recommend the minimal cd at all if you don't have
console
experience (partitioning, text editing, unpacking packages)
because a
typo can make your computer unbootable.

If you have Visual Studio 2005 (even vc++ express edition),
compile
this code to check for em64t:
/* check_em64t.c */
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    unsigned __int32 reg;
    __asm {
        mov eax, 80000001h
        cpuid
        mov reg, edx
    }
    if (reg & (1 << 29))
        preintf("You have EM64T supportn");
    return 0;
}
/* EOF */
Email me if your version of visual studio is express or
pro/team edition
i'll reply with specific compilation instructions
