virtualbox.org

I have a Via Nano (Isaiah Core) host (Epia VB8001) running Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64 and am using it with a WinXP guest. The guest starts but is very slow (unsurprising given the slowness of the CPU). However, I would like to try to get some acceleration from the VT-x feature in this processor. It has the vmx flag set (see cpuinfo below)

When starting the guest and looking in the logs, I get the following message:

HWACCM: No VT-x or AMD-V CPU extension found. Reason VERR_HWACCM_UNKNOWN_CPU 
HWACCM: VMX MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL=0

As I understand it the CPU has licensed the VT-x technology from Intel. Is there anything more that needs to be installed to make this work?

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Mark

VIA / Centaur messed up. You have a stepping 2 processor, which doesn't have working VMX.
