Ha!!! It works!!! Well, only 32-bit kernels work, but anyways, sorry for trouble. I must have tested it before bothering you with stupid questions... With regard to booting a 64-bit kernel it all looks OK, loading works and what I see in the end is: Starting 64-bit kernel --- Press <spacebar> to restart --- No OOPs, no crash, nothing! Isn't that strange? Any ideas?
