[Xen-users] Problem with VT Enablement




Hi,

i just got a brand new IBM/Lenovo ThinkVista System with a Pentium D and installed fedora on it to use xen. i enabled the VT Stuff in the bios and the CPU has vmx capabilities. output of cpuinfo :

cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 6
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz

if i now try to start a vmx domain i get an error and found the following entry in xend-debug.log :

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise VmError("Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating!")
VmError: Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating!


for me it looks like xen can't find the vt extension on this box ..

any hints ??
