How do I enable virtualization?

I've a HP Pavilion HPE H8-1114 with updated BIOS, (v7.16).

 

The CPU reports VMX capabilities, (as expected), but in Fedora 16 I get "kvm: disabled by bios".

 

I can't find any BIOS option to enable VT. Anyone know how to enable this?

 

Thanks.

Hi:

 

See if the enable VT is in the security menu.

Re: How do I enable virtualization?

Thanks, that did the trick... not sure how I missed that, (was mainly looking under "Advanced", not "Security").
