Have you thought about trying qemu? I have successfully used qemu in the past to emulate amd64 machines on 32bit hardware. It's very simple to use. You don't eve have to install the kqemu accelerator module; the standard emulation is way fast enough to test booting of CD images. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
