Tecra S4 with intel Virtualization support (vt)

Hi there!
I just upgraded my BIOS from 1.2 to 3.2 in hope to gain access to those neat intel virtualization feature because I want them to be used with xen so I can run Windows on Xen.
Unfortunately they aren't available and there is no BIOS option to enable them.
Anybody able to help? Do I need an special BIOS or something? Can I enable them by an secret code? (had that one on an Gigabyte board :D)
Big thanks for your help.

Hmm what CPU do you have?
The Intel Core 2 Duo CPU *T7* series support the Intel VT but some CPUs of the Intel *T5* series dont support the VT!
So if you CPU supports the VT then you should find the VT option in the BIOS!
Best regards

  • MSI P43 NEO-F with Intel core 2 duo E2200 2.2Ghz Virtualization Enabling.

    As the topic says i bought some new hardware for a server.
    The bios version is 1.2 from 061108 , the intergrated network card doesnt work, but thats not my main problem though.
    Im trying to find an option to enable full virtualization support since Xen complains when i try to install a windows machine in opensuse.
    I cant for the life of me find an option to enable it, and i guess it has with the version of my bios todo since neither the motherboard or the cpu is old and should support virtualization.
    Can someone confirm that a bios upgrade will give me this option? and can i use the upgrade tool in a windows environment instead of the complicated way of booting of a floppy and install the new bios?
    /Regards

    Hello,
    Virtualization Support should be enabled by default.  If you can't find an option in BIOS, there is probably none.
    I think the main problem is your processor itself.  In Intel's own naming & classification system, the E2200 is not a "Core 2 Duo" processor, but a "Pentium Dual-Core" processor and none of the Dual-Core Pentium CPUs supports "Intel® Virtualization Technology".  You can look yourself, here:

    Hi,
    the Intel Core Duo processor is a 32-bit only processor and not capable of 64-bit.
    Only the Core 2 Duo and later processors are capable of 64-bit.
    Sorry

    Hi,
    Purchased new Buisness PC for cloud computing, which was HP Compaq Pro 4300 - with Dual Monitor supported.
    I have purchased 2x Samsung S24C550VL 23.6 inch LED MHL Monitor (250cd/m2, 1920x1080, 2ms, 2x HDMI, MHL, VGA).

  • Intel Virtualization disabled on my Mac Mini?

    We've successfully installed and run Parallels Desktop for Mac on two MacBooks and a MacBook Pro in order to run Windows XP Professional virtual machines.
    On my Mac Mini, however, when I set up a virtual machine and am installing the guest OS from a Windows XP Pro installer CD, I get the following message from Parallels Desktop:
    "Your CPU supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) but it is currently disabled (locked by firmware). Virtual machine will be started without VT-x support (in software virtualization mode)."
    Has anyone seen this message before? Is there some reason why VT-x would be turned off on my Mini and not on our other machines? Is it easy to turn on? I couldn't find a reference anywhere.
    Here are my specifics:
    o Mac Mini, 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo, 512MB RAM (to be expanded soon)
    o Host OSX: Up-to-date 10.4.7
    o VM Settings: Typical + 512MB RAM & 6GB virtual disk
    o Guest OS: Being installed from Windows XP Pro CD
    -- Thx in advance for any help.

    This is a known issue; if you search the Parallels support boards, you'll see what I mean. It appears that a number of units shipped with VT-x turned off, while many other units shipped with it on. It is turned on in my unit, though I'm not sure if it was shipped that way, or if it was enabled when I updated the firmware. If you haven't already downloaded the update and installed it, I'd try that first.

  • LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support is no longer able to read all lightscribe discs(Blank or Containing Data)

    Hi,
    The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
    Notebook PC support
    The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
    Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
    out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
    FIRST OF ALL:
    My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
    My
    sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
    My HP laptop is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop, which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to the main power supply. 
    However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is kept from the dust. But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is not properly properly.
    I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it after storing,I found
    it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
    the computer shuts down suddenly.
    My problem is follows:::
    First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR  Data CD/DVD-RLightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
    unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive 'double-click' while disc was inserted, then I found that disc opened as this way(NOTE: With a CD/DVD player is grayed out)
    I  was told 'I suspect the culprit might be hardware and lightscribe dive might be
    corrupt. Please sent it to service center to check. In addition, this thread could be as a reference:

    Since no one replied to me at HP forums, although my HP laptop is one of their products, I had to post my problem here to know if my driver is corrupted and needs to be replaced or not.

    I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk/r /f'
    I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
    I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
    I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
    which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
    I have recovered my system from the HP Factory Recovery discs.
    I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor  third party disc recording software.
    However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE.
    Thus, my questions are:
    How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with another one.
    I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical drive which is as follows (ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer) ---while
    my optical drive of my desktop was connected to the
    primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5, something went wrong, and
    then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOTrecognised/Installed on
    BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it opened empty(no files
    at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was still shown as installed on BIOS.  However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried clicking on it on BIOS and then
    clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be re-recognized. However, that
    made no difference. I had to take part my computer ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto thesecondary slave IDE , and let HDD connected to the same
    primary master IDE. Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs were read normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS.
    What is meant with with double Layer Support.
    How much does it cost?

    Could you please really concentrate with me, and really reply to me to finish this problem pending.
    If you had had a look again at my first post, you would have seen that I said that I have done some things, among of which is: I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
    which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
    Yes, you're right the two threads below are concerned about one issue.

    However, this thread contains more precise details and screen shots about the problem. I was not able to understand whether all lightscribs were not unable to be read or not. However, I now recognized that, and I recognized that only all LightScribe(empty
    or used) discs are unable to be read. furthermore, that other thread got far too longer to be followed.
    Moreover, I would like you to take some time out to answer my problem about Lighstscribe discs since I am going to purchase 'A battery, Cooling Fan' From the HP agent in Yemen, which is far away from me about 1000 Km. Thus, If my optical disc drive was corrupted
    as well, then I would be requesting the 'optical disc  drive' as well from the HP along with 'Battery, Cooling Fan' .

    about this, and fix the darn thing. Also i'm a system admin for 13 years. I have build over 1000 PCs and servers. I know bad software. Please fix this. PLEASE. Its not going to just go away and its not just Toshiba, I have seen other companies with the

    Yep didn't work. Still get drops all the time, had to run a Cat 5E cable to my laptop from my modem, because I have Atheros Gigabyte Lan adaptor. Works Great. The Wireless still drops all the time. Has Microsoft let out the patch to fix this or is it coming in
    April in the 8.1 patch that's coming. Funny thing is all for Widi, I don't even use widi, I got the software to do that from Samsung works better on my TV. Intel and Microsoft need to get this fixed. because their driving off gamers and that's the
    people that make sure they buy Microsoft so they can play games. With the wireless link dead and a great laptop worthless what's the point. Ive been in IT for 13 years building PCs  and Servers how I knew how to run a 60 FT Cat 5e line thru

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?

  • WRT300N Router does not working with Intel 4965AGN adapter on Wireless-N

    Hi! I have recently bought the laptop Acer 5920G with Intel 4965AGN network adapter and Windows Vista. I have read that WRT300N Router is supporting Draft-N standard, so I purchased it. The router is working fine on Wireless-G 54Mbps (firmware - 2.00.17), but not on Wireless-N. I tried to enter the following settings: ssid - any non-linksys name;  radio band - wide; n-channel - 9; standard channel - 11; beacon interval - 50; Fragmentation threshold - 2306; RTS threshold - 2307, but nothing has happened, connection still remains 54Mbps. How should I configure the router and network adapter to get Wireless-N?

    okay... try reflashing/upgrading the firmware on the router, after reflashing the firmware on the router, reset it back to default settings and reconfigure it according to ISP settings...edit the wireless settings again, make sure that "wireless mode" should be mixed...
    on the vista computer, click on start >> control panel >> network & sharing center >> manage wireless network and try removing existing wireless networks from profile and manually add wireless n/w profile according to wireless settings of the router...check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

    I try to work with 2 different external monitors with no luck.
    First I had a Samsung 245B, 24'' (1920x1200). I install the Samsung driver, but this resolution was not supported.I tried also the forceWare from laptop2go.com, but again no luck.
    So, I change my monitor and bought a Samsung 2243NW, 22'', 1680x1050. This resolution is the same with the native resolution of Tecra. I thought that this resolution could be supported. But still no luck. I could change the resolution to 1400x1050, or 1600x1200, but not the 1680x1050.
    It it really a pity that Toshiba doesn't support 1920x1200 and 1680x1050 resolutions. The majority of nowadays monitors use those res.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time

    Hi
    You should firstly check if you graphic card would support such resolution on external monitor.
    The user manual should provide all details.
    If the graphic card doesnt support you favorite resolution then there is nothing to do.
    If the GPU will support such external resolution then you have to check if the graphic driver would also support such resolution. The point is that even if the graphic card would support the external resolution you will be not able to choose it if the graphic driver doesnt support it.
    As you see more factors are important

    I'm building it now, to test. I had to install icc manually because the AUR package for icc didn't work for me. I had to install icc manually (run the installer), but that wasn't enough. Before makepkg, you have to add the icc to $PATH e.g.
    PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/064/bin/intel64
    and execute iccvars_intel64.sh which is in that folder.

    icc kernel compiles in similar time as gcc kernel, or if there any differences these may be negligible. To be honest I was not really interested in compiling times (was doing somethig else as it takes ~12 min on my system to finish kernel compilation), but rather with overall kernel performance. This is not the same as OS performance, but I am planning to compile firefox with icc and maybe some other stuff (if I am bored enough).
    If you have 32-bit OS (I have no idea how it will work on 64-bit), try it. I can't post PKGBUILD for 32-bit icc kernel because I don't use PKGBUILD for kernels or nvidia as I have found it limiting/cumbersome/unnecessary (while PKGBUILDs work great for anything else on Arch).
    The only part really annoying is intel server speed. Downloading icc sources (710MB for 32-bit only) tahes two hours. If you try to get 32/64bit sources even longer (1GB download).
    32-bit icc PKGBUILD package requires only one modification related to Release Notes otherwise makepkg will fail. Once installed export icc path, edit kernel Makefile and change one line related to compiler: change gcc to icc. You can also add some compiling optimizations.
    Pretty easy if you did compile kernel before.
    note added:
    actually combination of icc and zen seems to have nice effect on desktop responsiveness (this is 2.6.33)

  • Intel VT Support A300-1BZ

    I'm looking at getting a A300-1BZ and a feature high on my wish list is Intel VT support.
    Can anyone confirm whether this machine supports Intel VT
    Thanks
    Mick

    It should support it as nearly any new Intel CPUs have this feature. There is no explicit mentioning of it, but I have the same CPU in my other notebook and it has this feature too.
    But to be 100 percent sure, you could go to your local electronics store and enter BIOS. If there is an option to turn it on/off, well, bull's eye.
    But why do you want VT? As far as I know this is only needed by some special virtualization software like ESX.
