    The only 'issue' running in 64-bit mode on AMD-64 I know of was where there
    was data corruption when the IOMMU flushing scheme changed. I think Andi
    sent out an email
    where this was reverted. If it wasn't, all you need to do is run with
    iommu=fullflush
    and you shouldn't have any other trouble.

    What other issues are there?

    Do these 'issues' prevent the cards from being used at all in 64bit mode on
    AMD-64?

    We'd really like to use the 4-port SATA 3Ware card on a Tyan Thunder K8W
    (S2885) but it'd be a bit of a waste if we can only use it in 32bit mode. (I

    assume 32bit mode means you compile for i686 instead of AMD-64 ?)

    Mark.
