Thanks for all the help so far.
The kernel works in the sense that it boots.
Unfortunately, 2.6.9 for amd64 has exactly the same problem as
2.6.9 for i386, it hangs the machine when the xserver tries to
utilize the radeon 9200SE PCI card.

So I tried compiling 2.6.8.1, as that one works for i386 for me.
I got this:

  CC      arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.o
arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c: In function `setup_arch':
arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c:582: error: `conswitchp' undeclared (first use in 
this function)
arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c:582: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported 
only once
arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c:582: error: for each function it appears in.)
arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c:582: error: `vga_con' undeclared (first use in this 
function)
make[1]: *** [arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/x86_64/kernel] Error 2

Is there a trick to get this going, or will I have to wait
for 2.6.10 and the next ruby release?
