I believe VT is only available on dual-core Xeon CPUs.

Hello all,

I have Xen 3.0.3 64 bit SMP(installed from binary tarballs) running on
Debian stable/testing, and I'm trying to run Windows 2003 server (32
bit) as a domU. I have created .hvm configuration file, disk images and
all, but when I’m creatin a vm using the following command, xen doesn’t
recognise VT support in CPU:
# xm create /etc/xen/vm01-w2k3.hvm
Using config file "vm01-w2k3.hvm".
Error: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-v supported by your
CPU and enabled in your BIOS?

The problem is that the hardware does support HVM; the CPU is Pentium D
945 and the motherboard is ASUS P5LD2-VM. I checked bios settings, and
they should not give me any trouble(legacy os support is disabled).

I suspect that xen still doesnt recognize vt correctly on x86_64
systems.

Configuration and /proc/cpuinfo files are attached, may be they shed som
light on the problem. (cpu info file obtained from under em64t-p4-smp
kernel)

Any help appreciated.

Alex.
