Problems with installing 64-bit guest OS. Messages - your processor does not support 64 bit addressing. Why? 32-bit OS installs and work fine.
Help me please!
Make sure you have intel VT enabled in the System BIOS. You need to reboot the ESX server get in to BIOS and look for CPU Options/Features.
You should find the Intel VT/Virtualization technology, Most of the CPUs these days support it but disabled by default in BIOS.
Hope this helps.

Yes. Thanks. BIOS setting "Virtualization technology" will be disable
close thread.
Do you know if enabling VT in BIOS will cause problems with Solaris 10 (32-bit) vm powering on after enabling this feature?
Should not be a problem.
Unfortunately, I have this problem. I can no longer create Solaris 10 (32 bit) systems. The installer gets up to the end of disk one, prompts for disk two then reboots and as the system is powering back on it just goes to a black screen and powers it self back off.
Do you have any ideas why did is doing this now?
FOUND A SOLUTION:
well, this keeps getting weird.
I went into Edit Settings --> Options Tab --> Guest Operating Systems (Versions Drop down) --> changed from Solaris 10 (32 bit) to Solaris 10 (64 bit) and now it works again. I don't know how, this is a 32 bit ISO install. I don't know how my production Solaris 10 (32 bit) will handle being changed to a (64 bit) but I'll post the results when I'm brave enough to try rebooting it.
I don't know how, this is a 32 bit ISO install.
Solaris 10 has one ISO for both 32-bit and 64-bit installs. It automatically installs a 64-bit OS on 64-bit capable hardware. See KB 1975 for instructions on forcing Solaris to use 32-bit mode on 64-bit capable hardware.
