Hi, I am encountering a sad problem. HP disabled the AMD-V extension in the BIOS for the nx6325 model. It has an AMD Turion 64bit TL-60. I read about that xen 3.1 would recognize if this flag is disabled. Would it be possible to enable this extension over xen as a consequence when it recognizes it? Or has somone from the community an idea how to do that? Roman This message posted from opensolaris.org

I''d send your laptop back. regards john
Hi John, I am in good hope that this issue will be solved. It is indeed unacceptable that whatever mother- board or system manufacturer hides and disables processor features which would be available other- wise. If I have more news on that issue I am pleased to report it here (if I have not to sign a NDA) so that others with similar models can benefit from this info.
