    Xen Virtualization processor error

    Hello,

    I am testing SLED 10.1 SP1 on a Dell GX260 with a P4 CPU running 2.5 Ghz. The PC currently has 512 MB RAM. It will have 1-2 GBs shortly.

    When I attempt to create a virtualization (windows) I receive an error "The processor(s) in this machine do not support full virtualization". I checked Novell's site and it appears that a P4 should be adequate. Am I receiving this error due to inadequate RAM for the second OS (misleading CPU error)?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    I believe I found the answer to this. I'll post this in case others encounter the same problem with Xen Virtualization.

    The processor must support VT (virtualization technology). A quick check of /proc/cpuinfo revealed that this particular CPU does not have the VMX flag.
