Hi, I''m runing a Fedora Core 6 on a Power Edge with Xeon Cranford that I planning to running Windows as a guest S.O. and reading "Fedora Xen Quickstar FC6" as document to install Xen on this server. This document recomend a "grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo" test to verify if computer is Intel VT supported. Running this command I don''t find any information about vmx. My question is : Without this flag I can''t run Windows as guest on this server ? Thanks, Solli M.

On the last PowerEdge 1950 we received, VT was not enabled by default (the option in in the CPU section, but I can''t remember the exact name). _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

My question is : Is your system a PE 6950, 6850, or 6800?
