To test if EPT is enabled on my machine, I add some codes in my own xen shadow and create a guest vm (named testvm) by Virtual Machine Manager. However, it seems that testvm doesn't use EPT at all (See the log). So how to turn on EPT support? I thought it should be enabled automatically. 
 
My box is configured as:
Intel Core i7 965
2G*3 DDR3 1333
Seagate 1T
 
Centos 5.2
Xen-3.4.2 with linux 2.6.18 xenified kernel (downloaded from xen.org)
