first of all hi to everybody. I have been reading this list a while and
searched the archive, but couldn't get a answer to my problem, so here
it is.

I' have bought myself a new Computer which I wanted to be able to run
hvm domains under xen. So I took a AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (Orleans) CPU
with AM2 socket and a Asus M2NPV-MX mainboard (nvidia nforce c51
chipset). I installed debian amd64 unstable with the stock xen kernel
and related packages. The CPU reports the svm capability, but xm dmesg
doesn't show anything about svm.
Does that mean that my mainboard doesn't support hvm-domains under xen,
or is there a chance to get it to run?
    

that system should be ok.
  
Any suggestions of why when I start a hvm domain nothing happens? The domain shows up in xm list with no status letter, but nothing else happens. The console doesn't show anything and the logs don't say anything usefull.
  
Does anybody have such a mainboard or have some experience with it? Im
also stuck trying to get the cpu throttle its frequency, but I think I
should ask about that somewhere else.
    

By default, the cpu frequency stuff doesn't work under xen... so this is 
actually a good sign.
  
But it doesn't work with a non-xen kernel either :-(
I don't have my HVM athlon box powered up (at the office) so I can't check 
the xm dmesg for you :(
