[SOLVED] Arch Server on KVM

Just installed Arch 64bit in KVM VPS and tried to compile cower but i get this message:

==> Making package: cower 10-2 (Sun Dec  8 23:18:16 CET 2013)

Not really sure what is the issue except this:

cower.c:1:0: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set

Does this mean KVM CPU has some issues with 64bit systems?

Re: [SOLVED] Arch Server on KVM

You may have configured the VM wrong, check the configuration

Also cower' makefile might have trouble with VMs, in that case you'd need to contact it's creator (Xyne ?)

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)

Re: [SOLVED] Arch Server on KVM

Seems that KVM emulated CPU's don't like march=native flags. Got tip from other experienced Archer to change it to march=x86-64 and it all started working.
