Allow me to clarify a bit - I am running a 32-bit Host OS (Linux i386) on a purely 32-bit CPU (Core Duo). Solaris installation will first check if the processor is 64-bit capable and only then install a 64-bit kernel. In that case, when Solaris asks KVM if the CPU is 64-bit, is KVM lying to it even though the host CPU on which it is running is NOT 64-bit capable and then emulating all AMD64 instructions without any help from the host CPU? That sounds more confusing! Even if it does something like that is there a way to tell KVM not to pretend like it is running a 64-bit CPU? I don't want to run Solaris in 64-bit mode as I am running on 32-bit host with just 512Mb of total memory. Thanks for your patience.
