Have installed 11.0 on my laptop, Pentium 3 with for the moment only 256 M memory. Still trying to find my way in the new 11.0 and found under system/virtualization the offer to "Install Hypervisor and Tools"
Always open to try something new I started installing. I have a small windows XP and a Drdos on the partition and thought it a good idea.
After the install I got as far as Create a Virtual Machine where I just get:
Error The processor(s) in this machine do not support full virtualization
What is keeping Xen from accepting my laptop? Any way around this blockage?
To support full (hardware) virtualisation you need a cpu that supports it. Only certain AMD and Intel cpu's and chipsets are capable of full virtualisation. The Pentium 3 is definitely not one of those - way too old. I'd also suggest that even VMWare and/or VirtualBox will struggle on that machine - simply not enough memory.
Thanks. I just assumed that because it is offered in the menu, it would work. Why offering an install if during the new installation of 11.0 it should be clear from the data gathered that it would never work ;(. A well, uninstalling is surely faster than installing ;). Waiting for my 512 M. Would that give a chance at playing with VMWare or VirtualBox? Which of the two are doable in my case? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
