[PLUG] FW: Parallel port under Xen/Linux not recognizing virtualization

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?
