Re: [Xen-users] Hardware for HVM

[Age_M <Age_M@xxxxxx>]

Hello Christoph,

your CPU (AMD X2) has Virtualization-Support built-in. But you can also 
check with "grep svm /proc/cpuinfo".
The problem is most of the time the lack of support for virtualization 
in the bios. I had the problem myself with a Gigabyte M61P-S3 rev1 
motherboard. I hat to modify (unhide the allready built-in 
virtualization feature) the bios binary file myself, as gigabytes 
technical support, wasn't willing to support virtualization. Maybe this 
works for your bios too, but it also could break your motherboard...
