Comment 2 for bug 621950

I tried this
                                                                                                                                                    kernel uname: 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Jul 24 01:47:24 UTC 2010 x86_64
with version 0.12.5

when tried to use -enable-kvm the system starts out in the 32 bit mode rather than 64 bit. kvm version:
------------------
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko
license: GPL
author: Qumranet depends: kvm
vermagic: 2.6.32-5-amd64 SMP mod_unload modversions
parm: bypass_guest_pf:bool
parm: vpid:bool
parm: flexpriority:bool
parm: ept:bool
parm: unrestricted_guest:bool
parm: emulate_invalid_guest_state:bool

this problem is still present.

Even if I use qemu-system-x86_64 I am able to run the 64 bit OS only if -enable-kvm is avoided but
the system is very slow.
