Hi all,
Using f14-x86_64 installed from the LiveCD with myoung's f12-xendom0. It boots both standalone and with xen.
/sys/hypervisor is populated.
/proc/cpuinfo reports CPU is AMD Phenom II X4 B60 "Black Edition". Virtualization is [ENABLED] in the BIOS.
Thanks for the reply, Cole.
Could help to provide the full /proc/cpuinfo output, as well as 'virsh --connect xen:/// capabilities' as root
Well, seems like libvirt is reporting that you can indeed install fullvirt guests, so despite that error message in virt-manager things should work fine.
I'm trying to add a virtual machine using Virtual Machine Manager 0.8.5 but when I select *New* I receive the following:
"Warning: Host does not appear to support hardware virtualization. Install options may be limited."
According to this link (s.b. one line) it does.
"http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X2%20560%20-%20HDZ560WFK...".
Now according to another webpage the AMD processor must have the flag "svm" to have virtualization. My CPU does NOT have that flag but it does have one called "hypervisor".
Hmm, not sure what the hypervisor flag is, but virtinst is looking for vmx or svm reported in libvirt capabilities
Could be as simple as adding "hypervisor" to the list of acceptable flags, but I wouldn't put a paycheck on that guess ;)
After some googling, I found this debian bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604160
Seems like hypervisor just means you are booted into xen, and doesn't say anything about whether fullvirt is supported.
Does booting into a regular kernel show svm in cpuinfo? Anything interesting in 'xm dmesg'?
