Problem with qubes-devel

[grzegorz.w...@gmail.com]

From:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/user-faq/#can-i-use-amd-v-instead-of-vt-x
Can I use AMD-v instead of VT-x?
See this message.

I am lead by link to :
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/qubes-devel/-/xUzL-wwXEmQJ
Which displays:
"Banned Content Warning
The group you are attempting to view (qubes-devel) has been identified as containing spam, malware, or other malicious content. Content in this group is now limited to view-only mode for those with access.
Group owners can request an appeal after they have taken steps to clean up potentially offensive content in the forum. For more information about content policies on Google Groups see our Help Center article on abuse and our Terms of Service."
with
"Continue to the group" button, which does not work.

Therefore:
* I can't get answer regarding AMD-v
* I can't comfortably use qubse-devel as it's effectively blocked with warning I can't go through.

This is a known problem (see
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-project/WVh6F2hqGlE/Z42uJjxRDAAJ).

As a non-subscriber, your only choices atm are either to wait until this
is resolved or to access the Gmane archive via its news interface:
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.qubes.devel

Kind regards, Markus

Yeah you can use AMD-V/AMD-Vi - it is also SVM/IOMMU.

You could even use POWER with IOMMU for the POWER arch as long as you
compiled the qubes specific packages for POWER on a POWER xen.

Thanks a lot!

Part of my point is that IMHO official FAQ (
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/user-faq/#can-i-use-amd-v-instead-of-vt-x
) should be updated to either :

* includes answer (or at least a hint)
* or links to page that works for everyone (as current link I consider
in "undead" state -> it's not really dead, but it's not really
alive...)

The issue with the Web interface to qubes-devel has already been
resolved.
But perhaps an update to that answer would be appropriate, particularly
in light of forthcoming 4.0.
