[Xen-users] VMX CPU Detection / Operation
Hello,
I''ve finally got xen to boot and a domain0 kernel to come up (after
much
manual building with drivers compiled into the kernel; and figuring out
the noreboot option for the xen kernel so you can read the console..).
However I cannot create an hvm guest. xm create <config file> reports
xm create xpcdxm.hvm
Using config file "xpcdxm.hvm".
Error: Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating!
The vmx status does not show up in cpuinfo and the xm dmesg does not
report that it is enabled or disabled. How can it be enabled or at least
probed.... the cpus are on the list of Xeons that support VT. Any help
would be appreciated. cpuinfo and xm dmesg follow below
Thanks,
Doug

I would check the settings in your BIOS. I have a Dell server with the new VT-x chip and the Virtualization was disabled by default. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/VMX-CPU-Detection---Operation-tf2038720.html#a5615369 Sent from the Xen - User forum at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
