Can below file be used as a bootable image on a usb flash disk to boot a HP Gen7 system with Intel Xeon x5650 CPUs (64bit) on it? "debian-live-6.0.4-amd64-rescue.img" ?
The Intel x5650, according to [1], supports the "Intel 64" command set. This is compatible with AMD's 64-bit implementation (as opposed to the Itanium 64-bit command set), so yes, the image should boot.
For the image to be bootable from a USB disk, it needs to be a Hybrid image. To check for this, run "/sbin/fdisk -l debian-live-6.0.4-amd64-rescue.img". If the file contains a valid partition table, then you can write the image to your usb device, otherwise you will need to use some sort of conversion tool.
