Sounds like your VM Host (the physical machine) doesn't have the VT bit (I
believe that is what it's called) set on the CPU's. VMWare needs this so it
can pass down x86_64 down to the guests.
I know, it's very misleading as your CPUs may indeed be 64bit, but without
the VT bit, the guests will only see a 32bit CPU.

suggested me to. But when i try to start the virtual machine i get the
following error :
This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU
I tried with both vmware and vbox image. I am trying to run the image on
vmware infrastrcture running on dell dual xeon cpu.
