Dave Anglin had the idea that the 64bit SMP CPU#1 stuck problems might be
related to PDC- or I/O-space conflicts with physical memory.
On Dave Land's machine (J6750) we could verify that off-list.  

I assume you have more than 3GB (4GB) RAM in your machine?
If yes, then if you phyiscally remove some memory so that you leave a max. 
of 3GB in, the 64bit SMP kernel will most likely boot up all CPUs.

Are you *really* sure that it booted 64bit SMP with kernel 2.6.22 ?
Or did you maybe upgraded memory after that date?
If it sucessfully booted, then we maybe have only some kind of regression.
