I installed it on my x86_64 box It boots and works fine.
But I found one regression:
lm_sensors stopped working.
sensors just displays "General parse error" (maybe a updated package is 
needed)
booting into a 2.6.18 kernel solves the issue (sensors works)

one more thing (not a regression):
can you enable the ntfs read only driver in the kernel builds? the 
patent issues are resolved and there is no need to recompile it every 
time the kernel gets updated.
