You need to have support for HVM in your processor. Since you don't
mention anything about it, I take that you're not knowing whether your
processor supports it or not... If you do a xm dmesg | grep -i vmx
from your dom0 and it doesn't give you anything, chances are that your
processor doesn't support HVM.
