Re,

I was able to get access on a Intel P4 machine for testing imvirt. The false positive detection on P4 has been fixed in upstream SVN HEAD.

Hi,

I have a physical host here that imvirt falsely report to be virtual:

--
# root? imvirt
HVM: @
--

I'm not sure what exactly you need to debug this, so I am
attaching a dmidecode output first; just tell me what else you
might need ;).

I'm a little bit stumped why imvirt detects a HVM when there shouldn't be any.

imvirt reads the CPUID MSR 0x40000000 to identify the HVM - doing this on the bare metal shouldn't return anything. On my available Intel test machines (Q6600 & i7), imvirt didn't fail.

Could you try to run imvirt from a independent boot media?

Thomas

Thanks,

Stephan
