I'm getting this error:
Error: Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating!
when trying to start an unmodified guest domain.
This is after getting the latest xen-unstable, running make install, and
booting into the domain. I've verified that xend is running. I'm using
Ubuntu Beta 2.
When I try to create an HVM domain. I see that hvmloader is in the
correct place.
cat /proc/cpuinfo shows vmx as an extension. This is a Dell 380n
machine, with the latest BIOS (should work, with VT-X).
Any ideas on where to start?
Nothing written in either /var/log/xend.log or /var/log/xend-debug.log
about it either.
Thanks -
I'm using this config:
