My 64-bit platform is a dual-core Conroe (2x1.86GHz E6300) -- I have a custom 2.6.20-rc7 SMP x86_64 kernel. I filched the patches from your .src.rpm and it seems to work from a quick test--the error I was previously getting isn't coming up any more and the CD-ROM ISO that I have passes a quick boot test. I will test this more in-depth with an existing disk image that I have--as soon as the 2GB file copies over to this machine...
