i have sun virtualbox running on my win xp machine. the machine definitely supports vt, but i can't seem to get proxmox to allow a kvm. does anyone know if it is possible and if i might be missing some important settings? i actually had it all working easily, the first time i set it up, but somehow, proxmox started saying that it was not running in 64 bit mode and could not run a kvm machine. i checked the bios settings, and vt support is turned on properly, i think. and i think i have the settings for vt support turned on in virtualbox. i would really appreciate help if anyone has any ideas.

thanks

you cannot run Proxmox VE (KVM) under another virtualization environment - Virtualbox needs VT so its unavailable for guests.

Well I am trying to do the same, and virtualbox has an option called Enable Intel VT-X /AMD-V so it should normally work. But even with that option ticked, Proxmox keeps saying the host's (virtualbox) hardware is not virtualisation capable and can't run in KVM mode.

My physical processor spec is intel i7-930 Bloomfield.

I am just thinking:I've actually ticked that box after I've install Proxmox on VirtualBox cause I have heard about that option recently. I shall try to enable VT and reinstall proxmox again. I will update this post.
 
Well I have reinstalled proxmox after I made sure I had Intel VT enabled on the physical machine and on the virtualbox machine too. It's still not working.

Has anyone ever installed proxmox in a virtualbox host yet?
 
The "Enable Intel VT-X /AMD-V" option tells Virtualbox to use VT for the machine, it makes the VM run faster and more efficiently. I don't think you can do a VT passthrough to a VM. Proxmox works great on Virtualbox, but no KVM support.
 
Yes Lucas you are correct. You can't do a VT passthrough to a VM, I tried with both vmware and virtualbox. That's not possible.

The only way I can think of is to have proxmox installed on a physical machine, create a template out of a KVM install, and then import that template into another proxmox server running in a virtual machine.
