Hello,
the wiki currently says:
----------------------
32-bit userland with amd64 kernel
For Lenny, VirtualBox (version 2.x and before) does not work in such
scenarios, see Debian bug 456391. For Lenny Backport, Squeeze and
after, VirtualBox (version 3.x and after) works without problem.
----------------------
However it (i.e. "Architecture: i386 (x86_64)", "Kernel: Linux
2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)" does not work[1] on squeeze. Could
you fix the wiki page?
thanks, cu andreas
