I'm having a similar problem with the Intel D945GCLF (Atom 230, em64t capable).
Trying to boot some amd64 ubuntu (intrepid) distributions (ubuntu dektop/server, server netboot and kubuntu), I get an early kernel panic (it is an hard lock). I have tried a lot of possible kernel parameters: acpi=off, acpi=ht, acpi=noirq, noapic, nolapic, pci=nommconf, irqpoll None of them brings me to complete the boot. With the x86 kernel things work as expected. Moreover I've tried the amd64 debian kernel (the one shipped with the netboot install for etch) and it works! (http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz) debian kernel works, ubuntu kernel don't. If you need more hardware informations I can take them from an x86 installation, because the x86_64 doesn't boot in any way. Thanks.
