Just for your information.  With the old loader, booting an x86_64
kernel in qemu emulating i386 would result in a kernel message:

"This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU but only detected an i686 CPU
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU"

With the new loader, the kernel hands without showing any messages.  It
can be a kernel bug.  Linux 2.6.29, current GRUB.
