Re: [Xen-devel] Unexpected error: exceptions.OSError - Setting up Windows XP HVM

[Alexandros Manakos <alexandros@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello again,

i figured out that when i disable vnc support (vnc = 0) i dont get this
error message. BUT i have another problem...I get the error that the HVM
guest support is unavailable...I have a valid cpu but i realized that
the mainboard is kinda mod of HP. So in the BIOS there is no possibility
to enable or disable VT. Does that mean that i cant boot any hvm machine?

regards
Alexandros
