So ive been digging through forums the past few days trying to figure out if I have unsupported hardware for creating a Virtual machine or if im doing something wrong. From everything ive seen It should be able to work with my current hardware.
Processor - Xeon w3680
looks as though it supports Bhyve has EPT, VT-X.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/47917
Board (this could be my problem) - Intel WX58BP
The board is Intel's only workstation board, and it has the X58 chipset, so I hoped it would work. Also, Intel's site says if the option "to enable/disable Intel® VT *or* Intel® VT with Directed I/O" is present, the system "supports Intel® VT" (ref: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-030922.htm). However, the only mention of virtualization in the BIOS is for VT-d.
Since it has VTd in the BIOS, I can't imagine that it doesn't support VT-x as VTd would be pretty useless without it. Maybe I'm wrong?
i have done a cold start and enabled the settings on and off. Upgraded and downgraded the bios.
Below our some of the outputs from the documentation page i ran on my system

This is my first post here. Please let me know if any info is needed, or if im posting wrong. Thanks
Also, this happens with any VM i try to create.
