Usually it's not a motherboard problem, but a BIOS one. We have found some hardware platform where there is cpu support for virtualization, but the BIOS (not updated by the manufacturer) does not enable it. A few useful notes are here: http://virt-tools.org/learning/check-hardware-virt/ To check for virtualization support in the processor and bios, you can use the kvm-ok tool, or if you don't find it in your kvm installation you can use the cpu-checker utility: https://launchpad.net/cpu-checker cheers, carlo daffara

For the whole PC to support virtualization, apart from the CPU supporting virtualization, the motherboard needs to support virtualization as well. It is easy to upgrade the CPU, but difficult to upgrade the motherboard. If the motherboard already supports virtualization, then I don't need to upgrade the motherboard. Does anyone know how to check whether the motherboard support virtualization or not? in the Ubuntu terminal, run the below commands and get the corresponding return: 1) dmidecode | grep -A4 'Base Board Information' Base Board Information Manufacturer: Intel Corporation Product Name: D945GCCR Version: AAD78647-301 Serial Number: BTCR71100WJ1 2) dmidecode -t 4 | grep Socket Socket Designation: LGA 775 The above return is the information of the motherboard of my desktop PC. don't know whether or not it support virtualization. Thanks for your help !
