Hi,

I am currently trying to create a DomU to run an unmodified Linux Distro Installer from CD. So far I have managed to get Xen 3.0.3 running on Debian Etch and I have created a configuration to run the installer in a new virtual machine. Now whenever I try to create the virtual machine with "xm create" I get the following error message:

Error: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-V supported by your CPU and enabled in your BIOS?

OK. This error message is rather obvious and actually the first time it was right, VT was disabled in the BIOS, so I went and enabled VT in the BIOS, but still when I try to create the virtual machine I get this error message.
Can anybody give me some hint as to why Xen will not recognize VT support?
Do I have to recompile xen after enabling VT in the BIOS? Or is the Xeon 5130 just not supported in Xen 3.0.3 yet?

Could you post /proc/cpuinfo and the ACPI lines of dmesg?
