Hi,

Quick question, is it possible to test AMD64 ios under vmware which is
hosted under i386? IIRC, launching AMD64 apps under chroot in i386

won't

work, but I don't about this.


You are asking if you can run a 64bit VM guest on a 32bit host?

Sorry. Can't do it. Even if you have a 64bit processor, if you only have
a 32bit host it won't work.

I thought this was possible as long as the physical CPU has VT supportenabled and the BIOS supports it as well. Perhaps I'm mistaken, though.
