I don't think you can see the vmx (Intel) or svm (AMD) flags from dom0, but the underlying hypervisor should be able to see it. Try sudo xm dmesg | grep -i hvm You should see something like "(XEN) HVM: VMX enabled". Alternatively, try booting into a non-Xen kernel and taking another peek at /proc/cpuinfo. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/
