Xen users - Sep 2006 - Success: HVM (VT) works on Core2duo with Intel P965 chip set!

Success story:

I''m now successfully running WinXP Home Edition as DomU under XEN, with
Gentoo Linux dom0.  Xen and Linux kernel souce code installed from Gentoo
emerge sources (not from the xensource tarball).

Hardware:  HP Pavilion model d4600y, Core2 Duo CPU, Intel P965 chip set.
(Despite predictions elsewhere on this mailing list, the P965 _does_ seem to
work just fine for VT.

The BIOS does NOT ask whether you want to enable/disable VT, but I presume
it must just always enable it, since it works.

If anybody else is having trouble getting VT working on this
system/cpu/chipset combo, I''ll be glad to compare notes.  But there
really
was no trick to it.  I just went back over all the instructions and re-did
everything with more careful attention to detail.  The Xen Technical Note
V07134006 "How to Install Windows on Xen 3.0" is a must-read.

Derek.
