I'm using a newer i5400XT board with E5335 CPUs on one workstation, and E5440 on the other. $ echo CPU: $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Xeon | uniq), CPU VT ext: $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -o vmx | wc -l) cores. CPU: model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5335 @ 2.00GHz, CPU VT ext: 8 cores. $ echo CPU: $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Xeon | uniq), CPU VT ext: $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -o vmx | wc -l) cores. CPU: model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5440 @ 2.83GHz, CPU VT ext: 8 cores. qemu-kvm is working just fine on both. Must likely your BIOS fails to detect/enable the VT extension on your 54xx CPUs.
