I think the HVM (as well as some other) flag is hidden intentionally

able to start HVM domU normally.
I tried. And it didn't work.
Creation stops immediately, with xm stating that my cpu doesn't support HVM.

Did you check the BIOS? If I remembered correctly, the flag still
shows even when BIOS disabled it.

I just checked again:
Virtualization is enabled,
VT for direct I/O is enabled,
Should I enable Trusted execution?
As far as I can tell from Intel's website, there is no version of the Q9400 that doesn't support VT. By the way, the machine is a Dell Optiplex 755MT.


There is another looong way to check it :
- boot normal kernel
- install vmware or Virtualbox
- install 64bit guest

If it works, CPU supports HVM and enabled in BIOS. If it doesn't,
something wrong with one of them.

Sigh. I'll try that.

Markus
