That's fine - I didn't add that menu for x86_64 because it's pointless now, all x86_64 processor are more or less the same. > Is the binfmt stuff due to no 32-bit emulation compatibility? Yes. It's trying to modprobe support for ELF-32 bit by calling /sbin/modprobe, which in turn again requires that support... chicken and egg problem is causing the "recursing forever" thing. > I have yet to test the 64-bit guest with a 64-bit root_fs.
