If amd64 "boots up just fine", how is it that "it obviously doesn't work"? 
"64-bit Intel is ambiguous"; do you mean "Itanium" (also known as IA64) or 
"EMT64"? "EMT64" and amd64 are (almost) identical: the "amd64" moniker is 
used for both (a) because amd invented it; and (b) to avoid confusion with 
"ia64/itanium"
