From what I can tell, the CPU in my machine (Intel Xeon 3060) supports the VME (Virtual Machine Extensions) feature set. That is according to Intel's website, and other "cat /proc/cpuinfo" outputs I have seen in external forums. However, when I cat /proc/cpuinfo, it is not there.

I don't have KVM over IP so I don't have access to the BIOS, so if that is where it is turned on, is there a way from the RHEL command line that I can turn this on and do a reboot? Or would support be nice enough to enable it in the bios during a maintenance window for me?

update: I found that what it wants is "vmx" for full virtualization.. now I just have to figure out why that's not working since vmx is part of the cpu in this case.. apparently that's the part that's in the bios. :-(
