Thanks, Bill.  I took the system down and verified that the BIOS had "Secure 
Virtual Machine" enabled.  This appears to be the only virtualization option in 
the BIOS.  I then booted up, but the "svm" flag doesn't appear in the 
/proc/cpuinfo "flags" area.  In essence, it seems that the BIOS says 
virtualization is enabled, but Linux says it isn't.

I tried updating the BIOS to the latest version, but that didn't change 
anything.  This is SuperMicro mainboard, H8SMi-2 rev 2.01, with a dual core 
Opteron 1220 processor.

Does anyone have any experience with Linux failing to detect virtualization 
capabilities?
