[Xen-users] Problem with VT Enablement

[Sven Oehme <oehmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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

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):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/SrvDomainDir.py",

line 267, in configure
    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 ??
