There is already a 64-bit iso that has gone down the same path you
described. You can use it to install. I have. It's what I used to
build my 64-bit xen box.
http://download.sourcemage.org/iso/x86_64/smgl-x86_64-silver-thistle.2.6.19.2.iso
http://download.sourcemage.org/iso/x86_64/smgl-x86_64-silver-thistle-2.6.19.2-mod.iso
http://download.sourcemage.org/iso/x86_64/smgl-x86_64-silver-thistle.2.6.19.iso
So rather than build another single stove-piped iso, use that one. Or
help flux_control with it.
Lets not waste effort.
