Linux OS – virtualization checkout

by Arxleol on Monday 27.04.2009, under linux, tutorial

Well, today I was trying to figure out how to check whether my hardware supports virtualization instructions. Solution to the problem is quite simple, if you’ve got linux installed on your system then you should run the following command in terminal.

egrep '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

If you don’t get any reply from the upper command then your computer does not  support virtualization instructions, however prominent thing to do would be to check in BIOS if those instructions are turned off.

If however you do not have Linux on your system then some of the live distributions should do the trick.
