Enable virtualization with gigabyte ud3 990fx

Question

I'm trying to get the virtualization running : I have the following settings:

Though these settings, I have no virtualization enabled

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -E "svm|vmx"

is empty

and kvm-ok command yields: "Your CPU does not support KVM extensions"

I checked the cpu specs, its a quite new cpu and it DOES support virtualization. Any idea what have I missed?

Most probably, it has got to do something with the BIOS setttings. Do you have the Virtualization option enabled in the BIOS? — shivams

grep is incorrect use

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -iE "svm|vmx"

if return something is ok. If didn't return nothing,try another kernel maybe more recent.
