Just for your information. With the old loader, booting an x86_64 kernel in qemu emulating i386 would result in a kernel 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" With the new loader, the kernel hands without showing any messages. It can be a kernel bug. Linux 2.6.29, current GRUB. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
