Can you confirm that your cpu includes vt support? ... 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' ... not sure why you'd be running a 32bit OS considering I can't think of any 32bit cpus supporting vt extensions.

As far as my knowledge is concerned kvm-qemu will work in RHEL 6 (64-bit)
Virtualization will not support in RHEL 6 (32-bit)

no my cpu supports both vmx and 64 bit mode but i don`t know what is going on with centos 6?

but you have installed a 32-bit CentOS which should be 64-bit CentOS

was virtualization working on 32-bit centos earlier? I mean did you started facing this problem recently or is this the first time you tried using virtual machine?

my friend i told you in the first post that i used to have some virtual machines but in earlier versions of centos before ver 6 .
but after some readings i found out that the reason is that redhat does not support virtual hosts on 32 bit systems anymore only 64bit systems and also they droped xen and depend on kvm .
the reason that i was deploying the 32bit system that i had some custom made software only supports 32bit .
anyways i had removed the 32bit version and deployed 64 one.
