Hi,
Here is my problem :
I've got a motherboard (ABIT AN78GS) with all the settings enabled for virtualization in the bios, and a processor AMD phenom X4, 4 Go gskill RAM.
The bios is up to date, and i run mandriva 2009.1 with KDE 4.3.1.
Tested with virtualbox 3.0.4 and 3.0.6 beta
Everything works great.
The problem is that i can't run virtualbox with all the cores activated.
I've got a message telling me that VT-x is not enabled.
I don't understand why i've got this message knowing that VT-x is for intel processors.
thanks

Re: Enable multi processors fails
You may have AMD-v turned on in your BIOS, but did you enable it for the VM too?

Re: Enable multi processors fails
if VM means virtualbox, yes, it's enable as when you select more than one core it's automaticaly selectedSasquatch wrote:You may have AMD-v turned on in your BIOS, but did you enable it for the VM too?

Re: Enable multi processors fails
Do you have the other requirements enabled, as per changelog and user manual? I/O APIC needs to be on too, as well as ACPI.

Re: Enable multi processors fails
Then check your BIOS again, you may need to update it to get better AMD-v support.
