VM AMD/Intel Virtualization

[David Cordeiro]

Hi,

 

Im an unexperienced linux user but i've managed to get Eve-NG installed has a VM. 

The issue is that Eve-ng is not recognizing AMD virtualization and it seems this is causing some issues loading some cisco images (VIOS) and even Windows images within Eve to run. I've confirmed that its active on BIOS.

Is there something missing?

On Unraid itself it is active. So im guessing this has to do something with the VM itself. I've followed countless posts, exhausted every possibility i could find, my last chance is someone with more knowledge to help me on this.

FIXED 

 

3 Days later....

 

Modify the syslinux.cfg file to add this kernel argument.

 

1. Log in as root to your host OS (unraid) and edit syslinux.cfg.
 

     $ vi /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

2. Modification is below in bold.

                                                                     
    label unRAID OS                                                                    
      menu default                                                                     
      kernel /bzimage                                                                  
      append initrd=/bzroot kvm-intel.nested=1,/bzroot-gui

I just came across this old thread.  I was having issues with EVE-NG just crashing my server after a while.   Started reading on Nested kvm's which I didn't even know about.   Hopefully this fixes my issue.   If you are still around, any other tips and tricks with EVE?
