I think you need Xen 3.03 for support of HVM domains.

We test XEN 3 on an Intel VT machine (Dual-Core Intel(r) Xeon(r) Processor 5100 Series), on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10. After we boot from the XEN kernel, we started to configure a new Microsoft Windows guest machine by selecting Full Virtualization in YaST. After completing configuration using YaST and try to start the guest machine, An error message: "Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating!" knowing that VT is enabled in BIOS. We tried to do some test to check if VT is enabled: # xm dmesg|grep VMX (XEN) VMX disabled by Feature Control MSR. (XEN) VMX disabled by Feature Control MSR.
