   the only solutions i know of are to recompile the boot code (AFAIR it is only   
   the boot code with the problem) with new updated ASM instructions OR to hack   
   the binary for the new machine instructions OR to fix the virtual machines'   
   CPUs to recognize the old machine instructions...
