Would be useful to narrow down what causes the problem.. It's reported
that either mem=4096M or acpi=off is required. It would be useful to
build a kernel that has some of the ACPI features (CPU frequency
scaling, etc.) disabled and see if you can find out which part is
causing the problem.
This does smell quite possibly like some kind of BIOS or platform bug,
though. Obviously Vista 32-bit works, but who knows about 64-bit..
