    I am running windows 2008 standard R2 on an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.20 GHz.  Trying to install feature Hyper-V.  The feature installs, but backs out after rebooting.  I am guessing the processor is causing the problem, but had the AMD utility check for supported Visual feature and all looks good.  No other problems with the installation.  Ready to go production ASAP.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I would look at a possible driver or bios update that might be necessary or it could be an interfering service like the HP Network Configuration Utility caused when upgrading Hyper-V in the early days. In most cases you can install the Hyper-V role without Virtualization and DEP enabled on the BIOS.  When you try to boot your first VM is when you usually see the message that says hypervisor is not enabled.

    Hi,
    There is an old post discussed a similar issue, though the issue has been resolved in Windows Server 2008 R2. Please try to upgrade BIOS to the latest version to see whether you get the same issue. You can also disable unneeded options in BIOS.

    Have you enabled virtualisation support in the bios? Check this article for more information on hardware requirements: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc816844(v=ws.10).aspx

    Like Joachim suggested, you may have to enable AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) Technology in the BIOS or UEFI.

    You can test if your configuration will support Hyper-V with sysinternals coreinfo. To download go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc835722 . Use "coreinfo -v" to see if your system supports hardware-assistend virtualization.

    I am running windows 2008 standard R2 on an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.20 GHz.  Trying to install feature Hyper-V.  The feature installs, but backs out after rebooting.  I am guessing the processor is causing the problem, but had the AMD utility check for supported Visual feature and all looks good.  No other problems with the installation.  Ready to go production ASAP.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm having a very similar problem: Phenom II X6 on FX890 chipset (IOMMU capable) runs 2008R2 with Hyper-V just fine, including RemoteFX and Citrix. Installed 2012 on a new SSD and as soon as I add Hyper-V as a role (virgin install, nothing else done) I get nothing but reboots.

    Actually it takes very long to boot, then complains shortly about some kind of error and then reboots without letting my look at any details.

    Same setup runs VMware ESXi with device pass-through, Citrix Xen-Server 6.02 (also with GPU pass-through), CentOS 5 with Xen and CentOS 6 with KVM.

    In short nothing wrong with the hardware or BIOS as far as all other hypervisors (or 2008R2 Hyper-V) is concerned.

    I believe it's a 2012 bug.

    2012 works w/o problems on my Intel i7 2600 with Q67 (VT-d).
