I'm using openSuse 11.1 64 bit uname -a =Linux (none) 2.6.27.19-3.2-default #1 SMP 2009-02-25 15:40:44 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux and VirtualBox 2.1.4.
I d/l'd and installed the AMD64 version as the download page instructs, have all required dependancies met, and have VT-x/AMD-V enabled.
Bluewhite64 and (ironically) openSuse 11.1 64 bit isos fail to load the kernel at boot and report that I'm using a 32 bit system. The openSuse iso is the exact same one I installed my current os from.
Using pclinuxos (32 bit) and the newer vbox I can launch 64 bit.
I'm not getting any logged errors.
Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Can't get 64 bit to work as host or client
You really don't have the proper settings. Check your BIOS if Virtualization is ON. The Logs of the VM also show a thing or two about the VT-x/AMD-v settings.

Re: Can't get 64 bit to work as host or client
I'll check the bios - funny works with 32 bit host. What do I look for in the log? There's no mention of VT-x anywhere and several different AMD options.
I do have these :
00:00:00.593 Mnemonic - Description = guest (host)
00:00:00.593 VMX - Virtual Machine Technology = 0 (1)
What are the proper settings? The docs I read said to set ti the way I posted and I've tried various other combos with the same results.

You were absolutly correct - the "Vanderpool Technology" was off in the bios - thanks for the tip. Seems to be working now...
