Hi,
I'm at my first steps with Xen on Red Hat 5.1.
I just installed base system, xen, libvirt and virt-manager GUI and selected
"Create a new virtual system" wizard. Choosing a virtualization method, I
selected "Fully virtualized", because I need to install a Windows 2003
Server as guest but I noticed that "Enable kernel/hardware acceleration"
checkbox is grayed out: is it normal as I have CPU 'vmx' flags and all HVM
capabilities?

Some useful outputs:

Thanks for any help
