[SOLVED] KVM on RedHat 5.7 not allowing full virtualization or ISO image install

Hi there

I'm trying to configure virtual O/S's on RHEL5.7, but for some reason the 'Virtualization Method' is greyed out on Paravirtualized [so i can't select Fully virtualized]

And on the next screen, only 'Network install tree [HTTP, FTP, or NFS]' is available. Although i need to install 'Local install media [ISO image]

The RHEL5.7 was installed with all KVM packages [optionals as well].

Help would be appreciated

ok, just for future reference.

The VT was not enabled in the BIOS, so enabling this gave the option for Full Virtualization and Local install.
