How to tell if your processor supports Virtualization.

egrep 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo

or

cat /proc/cpuinfo

And look for the following CPU flags

  • vmx – (intel)
  • svm – (amd)

If your cpuinfo file has a flag "svm" then you have AMD-v hardware virtualization support (aka pacifica) on your cpu.
