Hi
I installed Proxmox 1.5 in a cluster with 3 machines, all 3 support virtualization - Output from "cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep vmx" :
cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep vmx
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm

VMX is listed and I know virtualization is supported but I only have OpenVz as an option on all the servers.I even tried using the pvetest repository but not updates still at 2.6.18-2-pve kernel.

Output from:
pveversion -v

running kernel: 2.6.18-2-pve

vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm-2.6.18: 0.9.1-5

All the above is from the cluster master. Any ideas of what is going wrong here and how to resolve?
Thanks.
 
Thanks, I had it enabled but read some more and found out I had to remove power from the server and then power back on instead of rebooting for this change to take effect. So now the KVM module loads Ok,
