Hardware Virtualization issue

[Jerry Feldman]

I get a popup from Virtualbox "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been
enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a
64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot. Please ensire that you have
enabled VT-x/AMD-V promerly in the BIOS of your host computer".

I restarted my system and made sure that the Virtualization assist is
enabled.

In the past I have run Virtualbox with 64-bit guests, both Ubuntu and
Windows 7. Earlier today, I received this message and it was disabled. I
know that my hardware and BIOS fully support virtualization.
I'm running Fedora 12 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.x86_64, and Vbox is 3.1.6. It
should work. I'm going to do a full power off and check the BIOS again.
I remember that when I first set up KVM before the problem I had with
pvcreate and reinstalled Fedora 12 from scratch. I did notice that
virtualization assist was disabled when I went to check on whether ECC
was enabled because it is on the same screen.
