XEN Virtual Machine on OpenSUSE 11.1 [Processor does not support full virtualization]

[squid]

Hi
i have SUSE 11.1 64 bit, Phenom 9550 and gigabyte 780G motherboard. In one of the hard disk i have installed windows XP. Now when I create a virtual machine for windows XP using XEN it throws "Processor(s) does not support full virtualization". I have booted using the XEN kernel. I want to know whether any of you have created a windows XP virtual machine using XEN in linux. if so please help me in resolving this problem
regards

i think you have to enable virtualization in BIOS. i m not too sure though


is there an option of paravirtualized in open suse? if there is one, then you should be able to install winxp using the paravirtualized option.

Yeah.. i think that your processor supports virtualization coz i'm using Athlon X2 which supports too.. try changing your BIOS settings and post the results

thanks for the reply. I have enabled the virtualization option in BIOS and now it's working. I have already installed windows XP in /dev/sdd1 and now the virtual console is just showing booting from harddisk. Is there any other parameter i have to specify
please help

well,
i m sorry i m not too sure as to what you are looking for. my exp in this field is limited. once you get a boot from hard disk does it hang or something or windows xp boots properly. if it does boot properly i dont see any harm in it.

Go to more processor option in Advance Overclocking section and activate Virtualization !

hi
I want to run windows xp as a virtual machine in Linux. Till now i was dual booting and if i have to work in windows i have to restart the machine and log on to XP and vice versa. I want to work in both linux and windows simultaneously so that i need not reboot the system.
The problem here is I could not boot into windows XP from this virtual machine inside linux. The tight vnc window just shows 'booting from Hard Disk' and stays there forever. There is some sort of conflict which i could not resolve myself.

Whether i have to look for other softwares such as vmware or virtual box
please suggest

to run Hyper-V hardware virtualization on Windows Server 2008 too you need special vitualization technology processors from Intel (the series ending with v tag) and AMD virtualization processors.
