Subject: [Xen-users] No hvm support? AMD Athlon 64, AM2

first of all hi to everybody. I have been reading this list a 
while and
searched the archive, but couldn't get a answer to my problem, so here
it is.

I' have bought myself a new Computer which I wanted to be able to run
hvm domains under xen. So I took a AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (Orleans) CPU
with AM2 socket and a Asus M2NPV-MX mainboard (nvidia nforce c51
chipset). I installed debian amd64 unstable with the stock xen kernel
and related packages. The CPU reports the svm capability, but xm dmesg
doesn't show anything about svm.
Does that mean that my mainboard doesn't support hvm-domains 
under xen,
or is there a chance to get it to run?
    

That's very strange - can you see SVM in the Dom0 with "cat
/proc/cpuinfo | grep svm"?
And what does "xm dmesg | grep -i svm" say?

  

Oh, I didn't say -i to grep, I thougt case ignoring where  default, so I didn't saw anything. SVM isenabled for cpu0, but this doesn't solve my problem.

As far as I'm aware, there is no way that you could turn off SVM in the
processor (with currently available processors on the market today -
this may change in the future). 
Which changeset is it ("xm info|grep changeset")?
  

~# xm info|grep changeset
xen_changeset          : Tue Oct 17 22:09:52 2006 +0100

what is the changeset? The day of the cvs checkout the binary was build with or something like that?

As the problem doesn't seem to be a hardware-model-problem, here is the output of the logs I get when I try to create a hvm domain. Maybe someone can give me a hint of what is going wrong.

BTW. When I tried this on the weekend, the 'Cannot allocate memory' error message didn't show up. I don't know what did I change, but it's again a new error message. I allready reduced the memory of my dom0.

Regards
