I'm not sure it is only a 64-bit problem. I have this

[root@hobbes ~]# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64 (mockbuild@) (gcc version 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Mon Aug 4 13:46:35 EDT 2008 [root@hobbes ~]#

[root@hobbes ~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 107 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+

but mine didn't fail:

That it's a 64-bit-only problem, I mean.

Hmm. But...
