ywrap is a feature that can be enabled, when certain conditions are met. For ywrap to work, the VBE BIOS must have something called the PMI (Protected Mode Interface). My guess is that the PMI is not available on amd64 when the CPU is in 64-bit mode. I'm sorry but it's something that simply cannot be fixed. |
