what it is is that i recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge 840 after carefully
selecting the specs i required, on its arrival i noticed that the BIOS does not
support virtualization, as a result of this on successfully installing Xen vm
on Open Suse 10.2 which creates the vm kernel and i try to start the vm i get
the error message:'Cannot start the virtual machine'then it goes on to say
:command: /usr/sbin/xm create /etc/xen/vm/vm1 return Error: (22, 'Invalid
argument') Using config file "/etc/xen/vm/vm2". when i prompt for more details
i get: 'Error: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-v supported by your
CPU and enabled in your BIOS' i have had a word with dell support who confirmed
that the that the BIOS does not support virtualization for now and that that
option in the bios is defaultly set to disable and that the most recent release
of my BIOS software doesn't list this in the menu for me to toggle that option,
and that maybe a future release of the BIOS software will have accessibilty to
this option. I was adviced by the Dell Engineer to come this site and seek for
help on this site. does anyone know what i can do to get around this problem
please. i was told by the Dell engineer to run a cat command on the cpuinfo
file to see if the flag will reflect xt or vt, i did this and the i got the
following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc> cat cpuinfoprocessor : 0vendor_id

machines on this server, its got 750 GB HDD (mirroring support) and 8GB of RAM,

be greatly appreciated. Odi
