Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.0.4.1 AMD-V HVM

[Holger <Age_M@xxxxxx>]

Hello Mats,

I think I didn't really get the point in your statement.

"please wait until the processors are available"


What processors are you talking about?! My AMD AM2 3600+ X2 (65nm) 
already has the AMD-V feature, right?!? And the Mainboard already has 
turned off this AMD-V feature, but I want to turn it ON again, right?!
So, what do I have to do to get HVM support? New CPU? New Mainboard?? Or 
should I completely switch to Intel Core2Duo?
I am completely irritated now :-p
