I think that the virtualization support in some CPUs is not compatible with KVM. I have an HP server with two dual-core Xeon model 5160 CPUs in it. According to Intel's website, this CPU has the VT-x extension for virtualization support, and I enabled virtualization support in the BIOS. However, QEMU says that the CPU does not support virtualization, and /proc/cpuinfo does not show the vmx extension (which KVM requires).

Virtualization options are set on in BIOS.

I still get something like "CPU does not have extensions, doing nothing" when
the KVM driver tries to load.

I am using a stock 2.6.32 kernel from Sid.

How do I activate KVM stuff? Need to compile the kernel with options set?
