[Qemu-devel] X86_64 problem

[Dave Dixon]

Greetings,

I'm building an initrd for netbooting headless/diskless cluster members. The
target platform is 64-bit ubuntu, and the development platform is 64-bit
ubuntu (albeit a very different computer physically). When I try qemu with
-kernel and -initrd, it says "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only
detected an i686 CPU." But it's definitely a 64-bit cpu - running a 64-bit OS.
If I show qeme -cpu ?, I get a list of only 32-bit cpus. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
