I've had no difficulty with 1950/2950 installs, as long as the disk
controller is the PERC 5/I. I don't know if this holds for Vivek's
experience as well.
However, with the SAS5 controller (LSILogic SAS) AMD64 won't boot without
either:
- ACPI / APIC disabled, killing SMP
- Any BCE interfaces disabled in BIOS

I have one piece of dell equipment which insists on disabling ACPI
timer and then everything works. Disabling ACPI totally seems
undesirable under normal circumstances.
I've done multiple installs of 6-STABLE on a 1950 without problems.
One of them was used to create a custom install CD that I'm using today
to install on several others. Haven't had to tweak anything at all
in the BIOS.
I missed the start of this thread. Did you give any more hardware
details?
