If (like me) you are running inside ESXi with your disk controller in PCI passthrough, you can't enable VTX-D, so it's jails only for you (and me... on that box).

OK, somehow missed the word "not" in your original post... apologies.

You need to look at your BIOS a bit harder and also check into your CPU support for virtualization if you think the BIOS is set to allow it already (usually should disable the option if no CPU support).

Maybe this will help in some way? https://www.instructables.com/id/Enable-Disable-Intel-VT-x/
