RE: [Xen-users] VT Requirement

[Faraz Khan <Faraz.Khan@xxxxxxx>]

Actually, my team mate informs me that he was trying to run Xen Server 5.5 
inside a Windows 2008 HyperVisor VM.  That's why he was getting a HVM required 
message.  We are just trying out Xen for the first time and did not have a 
physical server to spare.  The error message we get is "HVM is required for 
this operation".

Is this type of setup not possible where XenServer is inside a VM?  I have 
previously tried VMWare ESX server using the same technique and it worked just 
fine. 

I have heard there may be a specially modified (paravirtualized??) version of 
linux that can be run without HVM support.  Do you know what those are and 
where I can find them?

Paste here, the DomU configuration...

I assume that you use HVM, not paravirtualization.
