I experienced such situation: a BIOS revision that did not expose any VT- x options while the CPU supported them. A BIOS update solved it and a new menu for VT-x was added to the updated BIOS. But regardless this I think that "cpuinfo" is about CPU and not BIOS capabilities; from here you can't really know what to expect. > Never mind then. Every motherboard manufacturer use different settings (even more for OEMized motherboards that can be also highly customized by the computer manufacturer), that's why is always better to directly ask them to be sure :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
