Doing some more tests with Qemu and 64bit support gives the following picture:
I always boot the Opensuse 10.2 64bit installation DVD. If I switch off kqemu completely with the -no-kqemu option the system installation starts, albeit slow :-) . The tests with only user mode kqemu enabled (no -kernel-kqemu option specified) lead to crashes: After the first screen pops up I switch to VESA mode. The kernel starts and then crashes during loading basic drivers (see below). I also tried with std-vga mode, same behavior. Also other resolutions didn't change the behavior (except that they show splash screens).

(using VESA resolution, standard installation) If I use -kernel-kqemu it seems that Qemu goes into a loop. At least it burns all available CPU for a long time until I stop/kill Qemu.
