Xen users - Jun 2008 - HVM guest support unavailable

Hi,

when I try to start a hvm the well known error message "Error: HVM guest
support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-V supported by your CPU and enabled in your
BIOS?" appears. I am using an Intel E8400 on Asus P5E VM DO Board.
/proc/cpuinfo info shows that the CPU has vmx support. I have enabled
"Vanderpool Technology" in BIOS.

According to the xen user manual the package dev86 is needed. I am using Ubuntu
7.10. There is no dev86 package, but bin86 and bcc should work according to
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-02/msg00207.html

xm info shows xen_caps: xen-3.0-x86_32p. I am missing the hvm entry. Do you have
any idea why? Am I missing some kind of configuration? I couldn''t find
a solution in the archives.

Greetings
Tom

In case anyone else is having the same problem, I could fix it by 
disabling TXT. This is of course just a workaround because the TXT 
features are missing. I am still looking for a real solution.
