I have enabled VT in the BIOS, but still get the following error when trying to
install an HVM. I''ve checked the docs and can''t see anything
which might explain this on the M5. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thx,
Trev

Trevor, Try powering the machine off completely. Enabling VT doesn''t take effect with a simple reboot - you''ll need to power cycle.

Re: HVM install fails on Toshiba Tecra M5 with NV80
Would find out an exact CPU model. Check vendors site for CPU details. What does vendor say ? Bios on your board is not a fair. This message posted from opensolaris.org
x86info could help to find out the COU capabilities. It''s in the SFE repository (SFEx86info.spec) or take the one from the original website: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/x86info If you need a solaris x86 binary (as package), I could send it to you.

Thanks for the suggestion Thomas. x86info works just fine on my Opteron box, but fails (under NV80) with: readEntry: Bad address Found 2 CPUs I know that the laptop has a T7200 CPU in it, and according to Intel''s website, these support Intel''s VT, so it should, in theory, work, once the BIOS VT setting is enabled. Alas no! Never mind, I will plug on and try to figure it out. This message posted from opensolaris.org
