Does your system support HVM (Intel VT or AMD-V) on the underlying hardware platform?

Is there anything related in the Oracle VM log files?

There is also a forum dedicated to Oracle VM and Virtualization problems.

... post is now moved from the Oracle Linux forum to the Oracle VM forum for closer topic alignment.

The PVM guest doesn't have permission to do a microcode update to the vCPUs inside a guest. You can safely remove that service and you will no long see those messages during boot:

# yum remove microcode_ctl
This should not be installed in an Oracle VM guest. We do the microcode updates when we boot Oracle VM anyway.

Yes HVM is supported and enabled from BIOS.

Thanks Avi everything is clean now.
