OpenSuSE - CPU does not support full virtualization
Hello,
After installing and rebooting 2.6.25.5-1.1-xen kernel on OpenSuSE 11, starting XEN server through virt-manager I tried to create virtual machine and got following message:
"The processor(s) in this machine do not support full virtualization"
Machine is AMD Athlon 64-bit X2 and here is the content of /proc/cpuinfo:

When viewing "flags" portion of file there is nothing to implicate that CPU supports full virtualization.
I understand why possibly CPU is not capable of doing virtualization, but i used VirtualBox in Fedora and it worked fine so i guess CPU actually CAN do virtualization except maybe VirtualBox works somehow different.
Any ideas what to do to enable it on this CPU ? Can maybe BIOS update do the trick ?
Thanks,
Josip
