I've tried to switch to an x86_64 kernel today, but failed to get it
to boot.

I've followed the FAQ's instructions for cross compiling a 64-bit
kernel on a 32-bit host, and also recompiled in a pure64 chroot after
booting the official debian amd64 kernel, but in both cases, the kernel
I've compiled stops booting after:

VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 164k freed

It just sits there.  It isn't hung, since it responds to keyboard input
(enter, shift page-up, alt sys-req), but it doesn't go any further.


Any thoughts?
