Asus DSBF-D12 with Dual Xeon e5410 Intel VT

I am having an issue installing a 64bit OS in the build in the title. I have VT enabled in the Bios and am still getting the non-compatible message when I try to install a 64 bit OS??

Any ideas?

When you enabled VT did you power off the PC and then power it back on?, or did you enable it and just restart the PC. You must power it off fully and then back on for the VT change to work correctly.

Then create a VM with an x64 bit OS and it should work.

it was already enabled when I looked, but just for good measure I shut off VT, shut completely off, cold started, re-enabled VT, shut completely off, cold started, booted esxi and still no go...

Can you run the "Processor Check for 64-Bit Compatibility" app available here http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/drivers_tools.html and let us know the results?

The original app is for installing on the host OS to check x64 support.

Alternatively you can download the ISO (http://ftpsite.vmware.com/download/vt.iso) and boot the VM from i and let us know the results..

Additionally, and I quote "David.Mischenko","One thing to check is if paravirtualization is enabled. Bring up the settings for the VM, select the options tab and make sure paravirtualization is disabled."

Can you also now try and create a temporary new VM and install a x64bit OS in to the VM and see if this works?

Out of interest here is a VMware KB article regarding VT: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1901

Hope this helps

Carl
