I'll give it a shot. Don't be surprised if you see me pop up here again!

This shows two instances of 'svm', in red. Is that what I'm looking for?

You should also check that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.

Probably I did not know what to look for, but I did not see anything in the bios that mentioned "virtual" in any context.


Namaste also for you :)

Thank you. With the devil dancing all over this stupid planet the occasional blessing cannot possibly be misplaced.


I also use the kvm/qemu packages.  There is also a GUI that makes setting up and running VMs very easy.  Its Virtual Machine Manager and it uses libvirtd to manage machines.  I have also at one time installed bsd and it ran fine.  You can also try out different live cd by just downloading the ISO and connecting it to a guest in Virtual Machine Manager.  Installs are done this way also.

Have fun!
