Maxim,
I was looking at this some more since I need to deal with it next
week. I found that in the 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel there a kernel
config option called
'AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support'
I suspect that this will address many of the issues you're seeing.
I've talked with another Athlon64 user who says it's working fine for
him.
HTH,
Mark
