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.
