Hi, I've been running an athlon64 in 64-bit mode without problems,
up to and incluing 2.6.19.1. A couple of weeks ago I decided to use
it for testing x86 builds, since then it's been nothing but trouble
in 32-bit mode. It still works fine when I boot it in 64-bit mode.

Obviously papering over a severe bug, but why is it necessary for you to run a
32bit kernel to test 32bit userspace? If your 64bit kernel is stable, use the
IA32 emulation surely?
