Can't enable AMD-v

[liamwalby]

I have an fx-6300 and an asus m5a97 le r2.0 which both support hardware virtualization but when i go into my bios i can't find any option for amd-v or svm

Nothing like that shows in my BIOS

A little further down the page is a detection utility for Intel and another for AMD-V. Download the one for AMD-V and run it to verify support.

It just says it is not enabled in my BIOS, but i can't find it in my BIOS to enable it

According to this article, AMD-V is on all the time.

If no one else here can answer, you may need to contact asus. Sorry that's all I got.

I'm trying to run a virtual machine and its saying this - Mac OS X is not supported with binary translation. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V.

thats why i want to know how to enable it

i have gotten those errors before, when i had amd too.I think it has to do with the image that you use for the virtual machine.Try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSe6MglVaH0

It should be in the BIOS under Advanced Settings/CPU Configuration/SVM. This needs to be enabled. (See p. 3-16 of your manual.)

However this still probably won't work as OS X isn't supported on AMD processors. (That doesn't mean that it can't be done, but it's not trivial.) Running OS X on an AMD means using versions of OS X that almost certainly fall under the banner of "Pirated copies" so can't be discussed on these forums.

True

In your BIOS,Advanced---->CPU Configuration----->enable the SVM,where you can disable the SVM to enable the AMD-V............................................

I have yet to see an AMD-V option on any of my AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM2+ motherboards (AM2/AM2+ doesn't even support so I guess that's why I didn't see that option). I have seen SVM which is AMD's Virtual extension. I would look at the motherboard manual as it should definitely show where it is. If you don't have one then go to the motherboards web page and download/view the PDF manual. For my FM2+ motherboard the SVM setting is in the CPU configuration setting along with other power saving features in the BIOS.

If having SVM on doesn't help then it's more likely to do with OSX not working so well with AMD based systems without the OSX image being modified a bit. As it has to do with pirating I guess we can't talk about it
