Installing Proxmox on ESX host

[kumarullal]

Hi,
I tried to install Proxmox on ESX host, but I am not geeting the KVM option. I am only getting Openvz option.
Here is what I do in creating the VM.
I choose Other (32 Bits) Linux in the OS selection.
In the Options If I enable paravirtulization, then it refuses to install. So I choose the default (Unselect) paravirtulization.
So what am I doing wrong that I am not getting KVM option.
Please help

KVM needs access to the VT features on the Kernel - and ESX does not allow this (as ESX also needs this). therefore you cannot run KVM on ESX and also not ESX on KVM.

there is a hack from the KVM community to allow ESX on KVM (but only on amd cpu´s and very experimental).
