I have been having a running email conversation with the the Parallels support team over an issue with VT-x support on my Mac Intel Mini without getting any resolution. Maybe somebody else has seen my problem and knows of a solution.
When I start a Windows XP VM, I get the following message:
"Your CPU supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) but it
is currently disabled (locked by firmware). Virtual machine will be
started without VT-x support (in software virtualization mode)."
I was told that this was a rom update problem but I think that I have the latest ROM version. The following is from System Profile for my machine:
Machine Name: Mac mini
Machine Model: Macmini1,1
CPU Type: Intel Core Duo
Number Of Cores: 2
CPU Speed: 1.66 GHz
L2 Cache (shared): 2 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MM11.0055.B03
Serial Number: RM624697VJM
SMC Version: 1.3f4
Can anybody confirm that I have the correct ROM version? If it is the latest, any insite into what may be disabling VT-x support or how to "unlock it in firmware"?
Thanks for any help that I get.
