The more I look into this, the more confused I get.

>From http://www.xensource.com/files/xen_install_windows.pdf
There is a paragraph:
Type /usr/sbin/xm info | grep caps at the command prompt. You will see
“hvm-3.0-x86_32” if Xen can detect the VT or AMD-V technology. If you do
not see this, then your system does not have the appropriate processor
technology, or it has been disabled in the BIOS. You must rectify this
before proceeding.

When I type the command, I get:
linux-p204:~ # /usr/sbin/xm info | grep caps
hw_caps                :
178bfbff:ebd3fbff:00000000:00000010:00002001:00000000:0000001f
xen_caps               : xen-3.0-x86_64 hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_64

I have 3 hvm listings instead of 1. Could someone kindly explain:
Is this normal of Athlon 64 X2 (Running Suse 10.1 Xen kernel)?
If it is normal, why 3 hvms?
If it isn't, what is happening?

I created 2 full virtualization machines with Yast, but they are both
stopped. The WinXP never completed installation,it hung the computer
about 2/3 of the device installation phase, and the Suse 10 was going so
slow that it was going to take 13 hours to install.
