Still weird. If the OS is x86_64, then asterisk should have no problem
starting up if it was compiled for x86_64. If you try to boot the x86_64
os on a x86 only CPU, the OS would not boot at all.

Perhaps asterisk was compiled with some extra instruction flags that are
only supported on the desktop computer CPU though.
