I have a Lenovo M57p myself and run various hypervisors on it without issue. Beware of TxT. To be honest I had never heard of this, but after reading about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Execution_Technology I would be wary of enabling it. > Cause I don't see any options for GVT/d/g/s listed in the Bios selections of the Lenovo. I'm not sure where this requirement came from. VT-d is what you want, so if it's enabled, you should be good to go. Brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
