Hi all, For running KVM on ESX you need to make some changes: 1. Edit the virtual machine Hardware (harware virtual 9 or higher) 2. Select "Linux" as the guestOS Family and "Other Linux (64-bit)" as the guestOS Version. 3. During the customize hardware wizard, expand the "CPU" section and select "Hardware Virtualization" box to enable VHV. 4. Check and enable "Hardware vitualization: Expose hardware assited virtualization to the guest OS" 5. Complete the wizard I hope this may help you José M.
