Restarted it holding ALT as it started up.
#2010 macbook pro processor password#
In my case it didn't prompt for a password perhaps cos I had already run a command with sudo. To summarise as far as I got.ĭownload rEFIt disk image, mount it, you see an efi folder, copy it to root, copy vmx folder in the dreamcat5/efi-enable-vtx git repository into /efi, run cd /efi/refit run. The other method it lists, to "Set EFI VT-X Register bit" One method it says is temporary which is to go into sleep mode then wake out of it. I read somewhere(don't recall where, and it may be wrong), that all Macbook Pro 2010s have a CPU that supports virtaualization and it's purely this issue that it needs to be enabled.
#2010 macbook pro processor mac#
It's possible to have a CPU that supports virtualization but that there is something in a MAC that is like a BIOS or like a UEFI.

The CPU may indeed not support virtualization, and I read here that the way to check is to run the command $ sysctl kern.hv_support and if the result is e.g.kern.hv_support: 1 then it's fine, and if the result iskern.hv_support: 0` then it's not fine. I have read that there are two issues here that may or may not be connected. You can determine the availability of Hypervisor APIs on a particular machine at runtime with the sysctl(8) command, passing kern.hv_support as an argument." "Generally, machines with an Intel VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode are supported. For my processor(the core2duo P8600), the page is a bit older in design, as the CPU was launched Q3'08 while it says I have VT-x it doesn't say yes or no as to whether I have EPT or VT-d. While it supports VT-x, I am guessing perhaps it doesn't support some later virtualization capabilities because this later CPU, the i5 760, launched Q3'10 (not in my laptop), has a newer page that has some other things listed related to virtualization For example the i5 mentions "Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d): No" and "Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT): yes". Processor in there is Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz

Docker requires a processor with virtualization capabilities.
