Thank you, Simone.
I am sorry. I made a mistake with the CPU type. I got the references mixed up.
The one I'm having trouble with is the 2007 server with an Intel Xeon 5050 (Dell has
it as a Dempsey in their hardware list for this server).
Ok, the issue is unfortunately simple here: on the lower-end we
support Intel Conroe Family but your CPU is older and doesn't match
the feature set to be detected as a Conroe CPU.
The cheapest option is trying to understand which CPU your server
mainboard can support (here some hint:
http://store.flagshiptech.com/dell-poweredge-2950-cpus-processors-heatsinks/
); if you server allows something newer, probably with a fistful of
dollars you could find it refurbished on eBay or similar.
Virtualization Technology is Enabled in the BIOS and the BIOS is at
the latest released version from 2013.
I am attaching the logs that were requested.

Hi Robert,
With that CPU you should be able to select 'Conroe'.
I think it depends on how VDSM and libvirt see the CPU features.
Can you please attach hosted-engine-setup and vdsm logs?
In the mean time, can you please ensure that Virtualization Technology and XD/NX bit are
on in the BIOS?
