Hi all
We have an issue about xen. We test XEN 3 on an Intel VT machine (Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series), on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.
After we boot from the XEN kernel, we started to configure a new Microsoft Windows guest machine by selecting Full Virtualization in YaST. After completing configuration using YaST and try to start the guest machine, An error message:

"Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating!"

knowing that VT is enabled in BIOS.
We tried to do some test to check if VT is enabled:

# xm dmesg|grep VMX

(XEN) VMX disabled by Feature Control MSR.
(XEN) VMX disabled by Feature Control MSR.
(XEN) VMX disabled by Feature Control MSR.
(XEN) VMX disabled by Feature Control MSR.

- Is the VT enabled by default in XEN kernel?
- If Not, Is there any method to enable VT in Kernel?
