Thanks Neil, I'll try this out when I boot it up next time. Meanwhile, I'm not sure if the virtio drivers in the kernel are meant for guest kernels only, or if I should have them enabled on the host's. This is the modules I have enabled on the host which is VT-x capable: # grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU -e VIRT /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN=y CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN=y # CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is not set # CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU is not set CONFIG_IOMMU_HELPER=y CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS=y CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m # CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE is not set # CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO is not set # CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU is not set # CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set # CONFIG_SND_VIRTUOSO is not set # CONFIG_VIRT_DRIVERS is not set CONFIG_VIRTIO=m # CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI is not set # CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON is not set # CONFIG_VIRTIO_INPUT is not set # CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO is not set CONFIG_IOMMU_API=y CONFIG_IOMMU_SUPPORT=y # Generic IOMMU Pagetable Support CONFIG_IOMMU_IOVA=y # CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU is not set CONFIG_DMAR_TABLE=y CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU=y CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_SVM=y CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON=y CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_FLOPPY_WA=y # CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not set # CONFIG_IOMMU_STRESS is not set CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION=y The CPU has vmx, but not vmd: processor : 7 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 30 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz stepping : 5 microcode : 0x7 cpu MHz : 933.000 cache size : 6144 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8 core id : 3 cpu cores : 4 apicid : 7 initial apicid : 7 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 11 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf eagerfpu pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt lahf_lm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid dtherm ida bugs : bogomips : 3191.45 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: -- Regards, Mick
