Andi,
1. The new IDE code in -pre references a few new macros and
inlines from <asm/system.h> that x86_64 doesn't provide.
2. bootsect.S has the same bug that i386' bootsect.S had
until I fixed it in 2.4.14 or so: it stops the floppy
controller in a way that cause newer FDCs to lock up.
The same patch as in i386' bootsect.S fixes the problem.
The x86_64 kernel boots RH8.0 fairly well, but the IA32 emulation
has some rough spots. In particular, "sleep" SEGVs with a #GP
every time, and sys32_ioctl() complains:

(The system is vanilla RH8.0 with Athlon binaries, running under
the Virtutech Simics 1.4.7 simulator. The x86_64 kernel was
cross-compiled with binutils-2.13.2.1 and gcc-3.2.1.)
