thanks for the reply.
after using the following line:
<qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,vmx,rdtscp,+invtsc,+avx,+avx2,+aes,+xsave,+xsaveopt,+ssse3,+sse4_2,+popcnt,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,'/>
"sysctl kern.hv_support" still returns 0. for docker to work it should return 1. (following this page)
could this be a clover config problem?
I am running an amd fx 8350, if that helps.
Is there a list of the cpu features that can be passes through?
