i do recall reading somewhere that, yes, you have to be careful to
check that the system not only has the virt extension but that it's
*turned on*. i can't recall where i read that, does anyone have a
URL? something about selling a system cheaper because you've simply
disabled the extension, but advertising it as if it *does* have it.
On my HP/Intel machines you have to enable the virtualization feature in
the BIOS. It is off by default, and the option is oddly buried in a
"Security" menu.
