I just tried to install 8.2/64bit on my 7-STABLE 64bit server … error comes up as 'CPU doesn't support long mode' … the above link indicates that this is because my CPUs don't support some features, but, my system is only a year old …
dmesg shows my CPU as:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz (2500.10-MHz K8-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x1067a Family = 6 Model = 17 Stepping = 10

AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF>
TSC: P-state invariant
Cores per package: 4
And according to Intel's site, it does support VT-x:

So, this is something else altogether … ?
Thx
