How do I emulate the vmx feature with QEMU?
I read from here that vmx capability support on QEMU must be explicitly enabled by providing the +vmx option to the command but the problem is that it does not seem to work. In my system, the VMX feature is still undetected. Command: qemu-system-x86_64 -no-kvm -cpu qemu64,+vmx,-svm ... In my guest OS, when I execute cpuid 1 I get ECX = 0x80802001; bit 5 = 0 meaning that my virtual CPU does not have VMX. Is this a bug? Or is there another way to enable the vmx feature in QEMU? Mike The following command works for me: qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -kernel kernel/kernel -serial stdio -enable-kvm
