Hi Rohit, Thanks for your answer !
I'm missing real use cases of 32 bit emulation, only knowing that some researchers are working on low-level instructions on various CPU architectures. And seeing CPU features (in our case "lm" but I've also heard of "sse*") that could not be implemented fools their low-level code. For now we seem to have only a ugly workaround (updating Cloudstack database) and we're trying to learn how to code in Cloudstack to propose patches. We will certainly add a feature request too, enabling on UI/API an "advanced choice for advanced users" for instances on libvirt/KVM clusters : - cpu arch - cpu models (AFAIK only available for now as guest.cpu.model on Cloudstack KVM agent configuration) - cpu features Best Regards, ----- Mail original ----- > De: "Rohit Yadav" <rohit.ya...@shapeblue.com> > À: dev@cloudstack.apache.org > Envoyé: Lundi 8 Septembre 2014 18:21:34 > Objet: Re: Cloudstack/KVM/arch i686 case reopened > > Hi Laurent, > > You’re welcome to contribute any work that you’ve already done.
