Thanks for the reply, does booting a live CD requires hardware support in Xen?
In Xen yes:
# virt-install \ --hvm \
However QEMU will happily boot a CD-ROM ISO without hardware support.
My processor is pentium 2.8GHz
That's not enough to tell. Have a look at /proc/cpuinfo, flags, which should contain 'vmx' if hardware-assisted fullvirt is supported. (For Intel you may also need to enable it in the BIOS).
Rich.
