Re: [Xen-users] HVM guest support is unavailable!!

[Age_M <Age_M@xxxxxx>]

Hello Yassine,

try this:

In the POST press F9 to enter the BIOS-Settings-Utility. Then navigate 
to 'Advanced Options', then 'Processor Options'. In this screen you 
should see Intel Virtualization Technology. Just configure it to 
'Enabled'. Thats it.
The Bios Version is D21 (8/21/2007)

Hope it helps,

Greetz Age_M
