I tried this                                                                    
                                                                    
                                                                                
                                                                    kernel

when tried to use -enable-kvm the system starts out in the 32 bit mode rather 
than 64 bit.

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.

Bug description:
Hi,

 The host processor is a 64 bit processor (as below)

  When I run the emulated mode of 64 bit (full emulation) I can run the 64 bit 
OS fine. when I start using -enable-kvm, I get error message that 

"Your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution."

trying to install SuSe linux enterprise server 64 bit

command line used

why is kvm not able to use 64 bit capability in a host which is a 64 bit 
processor ?
