I want to get a look at Cents-6 The computer is a portable Thinkpad T-42 The base OS is Windows XP Professionnal I tried to use both Microsoft Virtual PC and Oracle Virtual Box with the same result I boot from the CD (wich have been burned from an ISO downloaded from a Centos -6 repo). The version is CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso With each virtual machine I get this result at the beginning of the installation: "This kernel requires the following features not present on the cpu pae" "Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU" I undeerstand that perhaps the computer processor is too old. But is there a patch to overpass this problem?
You need to have a cpu that has a hardware visor. Otherwise, the only other option will be qemu which is slow.
Oops, taking that back, virtualbox is not like kvm or xen. It looks like that it does not need a hardware hypervisor.
