Hi Gerd

Thanks for the response,

that gets the VM booting - unfortunately we have many customers who may
be running 32bit distro kernels - we won't know ahead of time before
launching the VM whether they need this compatibility flag or not, I
don't think we can use this as a suitable work-around.
