[ovirt-users] oVirt on Dell SC1435

[Dan Yasny]

The SC1435 is a rather old AMD machine IIRC. In fact, we've been using one
of those to test oVirt in the very early days.

As Doron mentioned, you need to make sure virtualization is enabled in the
bios, and if you find it off, after enabling it, make sure you do a full
power cycle of the server, just saving the bios changes is not enough.
