The x86_64 images currently posted will not boot. Still working out exactly WHY, when the only change from the last known working version was whitebox-release (and of course new comps and rpmdb packages) but the important thing is that a workaround has been created. See the download page for a small 4.4MB .iso with a working boot image. New x86_64 ISOs will of course have to be released once a full understanding is achieved.
