Xen users - Oct 2006 - Xen Software Virtualization

I have a brand new load of Fedora core 5 using the Xen that comes stock with
the OS. When I try to boot a guest domain I receive: Error: Error creating
domain: Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating! I understand you need
a CPU capable of hardware virtualization to do this out of the box, but my
non-hardware virtualization capable CPU is not horribly old (2 years) and I
read you can use software virtualization with Xen. Can somebody tell me what
I need to do to run Xen software virtualization, with the Xen version
I''m
running?  LS

Why are you trying to run a hvm econfig, if you already know that you
don''t have hvm?

Maybe reading the docs and going for all the tutorials that don''t
explicitly tell you that they are for hvm will help you. There are
many of them, use google, look in the xen wiki, and, very important,
read the full manual, to get a better idea of how Xen worlks in
general.

I don''t know enough about fedora''s Xen default install, so if
this
gives you no other choice but hvm, then please ask the fedora-xen list
on how to get their tools running in paravirtual (the correct name of
the thing you wanna do, instead of "software virtualization") mode.
