It is interesting that it works with the i386 but not the X86_64
kernel. I have not worked with X86_64 kernels, so this is a shot in
the dark, but could there be a compile time option for the amount of
memory it supports like there is for the i386 kernels? I would not
expect a problem at the 2G boundary with a 64bit processor.
