Hi,

this seems like a stupid question given the # of comments and relevant
fedora bug, but i haven't seen this asked anywhere.

Have you in fact enabled virtualization extensions in the bios?

I tried this on my Lenovo X120e with an AMD E-350 with no problem on a
3.11 kernel.

All,

first of all I have AMD E-350D, you have AMD E-350. 
I don't know what the D stands for, but we don't have the same identical CPU.

I give you the feedback from the kernel developers and from the MainBoard 
vendor.
I had already tried the above command (rdmsr). It says 1 ... DISABLED.
Another thing - important - VirtualBox behavior is misleading: it lets you 
check the flag to enable the AMD-V extension, but looking at logs, it seems 
that the extension is not being loaded. 

Therefore, there are two possiblities.
Kernel developers say: it may be a bug in the BIOS. 
The vendor (GygaByte) says: it's a problem with Linux kernel. 

BTW, I can understand that everybody says that it's someone else fault, but I 
can't understand that GigaByte asks me to install windows and test it over 
windows. 
Right now I am stuck as I have a spare partition starting after 1.7GB and 
windows doesn't want to install on such partition.

@maxadamo,

I wasn't actually saying bug in the bios - I was suggesting the
feature was turned off in the bios.  Could you please boot into the bios
(or EFI) and check the 'virtualization' settings?  Or if you've already
done that, and it was enabled, please let us know - Thanks!

@Serge ... I am an experienced sysadmin, I work with Cloudstack ...
therefore I work with a lot of KVM machines.

I don't want to prove anything about myself, but now can you be better
ensured that I am able to access a Computer BIOS and switch a feature
from ON to OFF and viceversa? :)

I've also tried few weird suggestions from one developers and I paste you the 
content of the e-mail: 
You might try setting it to disabled in the BIOS to make sure it's not wired
backwards.  There also used to be some FUD about fully powering off the
system around making changes to these settings.  You might try
unplugging the system for a few seconds and testing from there. 

I would also say that WakOnLan sometime works, sometime it doesn't. 
There is something weird with this motherboard, but until I run a test with 
Windows I am not able to say if the problem is Linux or the MainBoard.

Yup, thanks.  Just wanted to make sure that had been checked.

Did this *used* to work for you in an older kernel?  Would it be
possible for you try 3.2 or 3.5?
