Hi all, I have a server having a Quad core intel Xeon 2.23 Ghz CPU. I have enabled Internet VT and MSR in Bios. But I am not able to install windows guets. The err is; Error: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-V supported by your CPU and enabled in your BIOS? - The output of egrep ''(vmx)'' /proc/cpuinfo is: flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm and I also see: (while doing xm dmesg |grep MSR) (XEN) VMX disabled by Feature Control MSR. (XEN) CPU3: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33GHz stepping 06 What should I do now? Thanks Paras. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I had an IBM laptop that required me to turn of the system in order for that feature to be enabled. Alternatively, is there a msr-related flag or something other option that needs to be passed on the kernel command line?

Even if the option is in your current bios, it might not be fully implemented. That was the case on my poweredge 2950.
