 Hi,

 I'm quite pissed off. I just upgraded to kvm-86 on a host that has  
 worked nicely on kvm-78 for quite some time. But since I was fearing the  
 qcow2 corruption issues, I wanted to upgrade kvm-86. After testing the  
 performance, I decided to switch. How stupid that was. That was really  
 putting too much trust in KVM.

 Now I can't have 64 bits CPUs on my guests.
 My host is running a 2.6.27.7 kernel, and is x86_64 enabled.
 Until the upgrade, guests were running x86_64 fine.
 Now, it says long mode can't be used or something like that, and I can  
 only have 32 bits guests.

 Looks really like the bug explained here: 
 http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg09431.html
 
 If I use -no-kvm, it works, but obviously, I want to be able to have
 kvm 
 support enabled.
 
 Now, I really am happy about this upgrade, and I'm gonna have to roll
 it 
 back. I really would appreciate some help on this..

Hi Gilles,

What are you saying is very strange, because KVM-Autotest has passed all tests 
for KVM-86 release,
and I can say that 64-bit guests work here. (both Intel  AMD, on RHEL 5.3/x64)
