    IIRC, that specific menu is based on tasksel, and that option is for installing the KVM Virtual Environment

    To be able to use KVM, you will need a CPU that supports either

    • Intel VT-x

    or

    • AMD-V

    You can use the egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo command to find out if your CPU supports this option, and you will need to make sure it is enabled in the BIOS.
