virtinst: do I have virtualization or not?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

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-%20HDZ560WFK2DGM%20%28HDZ560WFGMBOX%29.html";.

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".

The question becomes "will this CPU work with Xen?".  If it will, does 
this mean there is a bug in virtinst?  Can I ignore the warning?

Thanks for any help,
Mike Wright
