Here's the output of xm info

It should be like this

Here's /proc/cpuinfo on my system. vmx flag does not show when on xen-kernel flags : fpu de tsc msr pae cx8 apic sep mtrr cmov pat clflush acpi
mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht syscall lm constant_tsc pni est cx16 lahf_lm

Again, have you check the BIOS? I suspect that is your problem.

You're right. Virtualization was enabled. But I also had to disable "VT for direct I/O", which was enabled before. It's working now.
Thanks for your advice and time.

Regards,
Markus
