This may have been covered already but, if I remember correctly I had
to pass 3 power management options to the 64bit DVD to install it
correctly.
When booting the DVD/CD I passed w/o quotes "noacpi noapic apm=off"
This, for me, disables most if not all of the power management
features that _sometimes_ cause irq conflicts in both 32 and 64 bit
versions.
