I've been searching around here but didn't found a proper answer.
I have problems to start a 64bit (ubuntu-amd64) guest system on a 32bit ubuntu host, using qemu.
I've made sure that the kvm kernel modules are available:
lsmod | grep kvm
kvm
kvm_amd
Also I've made sure, that my CPU supports hardware virtualization:
grep svm /proc/cpuinfo
... svm ....
I try to start the vm using the following command. I've simplified it for this test in a way that it has only a CDROM drive:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
After the bootsplash of ubuntu has been shown I got the error message:
This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU
What am I doing wrong?
