How can I activate Intel Virtualization Technology on an Intel Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E with Pentium D 950 CPU? I have the lastest BIOS patch (1179) but there is no option to activate Virtualization Technology. I searched all over the Internet but it''s imposible to obtain a clear information if this combination of SE7230NH1-E motherboard + Intel E7230 server chipset + BIOS + Pentium D 950 CPU supports or will ever support Intel Virtualization Technology. I''m very disappointed because I cannot use VT on my Intel Server. As far as I understood the CPU and Chipset should support VT so the only problem seems to be from BIOS (I hope I''m not wrong). Is EFI Bios an alternative to activate this feature? xm dmesg shows me this "error": VMX disabled by Feature Control MSR. I would apreciate any kind of information/hint that can help me to resolve this problem!

In case you have such a machine, the only thing I can think of you can do is nagging/ blaming your dealer.

Once it is disabled, it can only be enabled by REBOOT, which of course leads to BIOS running again and disabling it. So if there''s no switch in the BIOS and it''s disabled, you''re out of luck... :-( -- Mats> > Henning > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
