It is not clear that this is a kernel issue. It is likely this is a
incompatibility between the Mac EFI and i386 uEFI implementations. This
is suggested by the fact the i386 images boot correctly (which do not
have EFI support) but the amd64 images do not (which do have EFI
support). To confirm that this is the cause of the issue I have
remastered the amd64 image without the EFI support. If those who have
these machines could test the image below and let us know it works for
you:

amd64-noEFI.iso
Please report any testing results here. Thanks!
