64-bit VM on 32-bit host OS on 64-bit hardware

2013-10-13 Thread Andre Majorel
Can you run an amd64 virtual machine if the host is running Debian i386 ? The hardware would be a recent AMD CPU, so Pacifica/AMD-V is available. The virtualisation systems I'm most interested in are KVM and Xen but if this sort of configuration is not possible under every platform virtual machine
