Paul,

If you want to try the AMD64 mp kernel with the patch I point out to you 
on tech of a few days ago and see if that help you or not, I can make 
the kernel I built that night for you to download and try if you trust 
it. I would say to built your own, but if you want to do a quick test 
and see if that help you boot, I have no problem doing that for you.

Just let me know and I can post it on the net for you to try as long as 
if it does help you, you send the feedback requested on tech@ back to 
that person.

est,

Daniel
