All - I am running a virtual windows 7 (pro 64) on centos 5.5 x86_64. I was hoping to run virtual XP inside windows7 in this configuration.
I get an error about cannot start virtual XP when I try this. Do I not have something setup correctly or can I not run a "double" virtual environment?
I'd be very surprised if that would work. The virtual environments check for the correct processor type. A "virtual cpu" is probably not on the list..
I have not tried a VM within a VM (nested) although I have heard that it is possible.
I guess the correct processor type could be passed with the "-cpu " parameter.
