kvm: disabled by bios

kvm: disabled by bios

[Elmar Haneke]

Hi,

is there any option to reenable virtualisation support (AMD-CPU) if it
is disabled by bios (and Bios does not show an option to enable
virtualisation support)?

Look for a bios update, that may help.

Hi, i'm having the same problem, my bios doesn't have an option to
enable virtualization support, and I already upgrade the bios to the
last version available.

I saw the patch "[patches] [PATCH] [19/50] Experimental: detect if SVM
is disabled by BIOS" could this patch resolve the problem? is there
any way to enable SVM support with KVM?

No.

Ask your hardware vendor.  If kvm says it's disabled, there's nothing
else that can be done.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.

If SVM is disabled by BIOS there is nothing you can do with current
hardware to reenable it. If the BIOS does not provide an option to
reenable it please contact your BIOS vendor for a newer BIOS which
support reenablement of SVM.
