Enabling VT Virtualization in the BIOS


Hello all

Some manufacturers do not give the option to enable paravirtualization in the BIOS, for example Sony.
What is the best way to overcome this?

Thanks in advance

I've never heard of paravirtualization in the BIOS of any computer using any architecture. I think you are mistaken. Can you give an example of a computer that has this?

Bitch at Sony or next time do not buy their products. Though I think it is a "dum" switch like the PAE switch. It will always be enabled if you like it or not.

Thx Electro, yes. For example the Intel Core 2 Duo and some of the AMD arch. allow paravirtualization for running virt. mach. under vmware or xen.

B1tch@sony.mor - you think we should send an email?
