[libvirt-users] virt-install Error

[Nitin Nikam]

Hi David,
  Thanks for the response.
I've already cross checked my BIOS setting and virtualization is enabled.

the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo shows vmx flag, but it doesn't show smx
flag.
Is that has something to do with my issue?

Thanks,
kenden
