Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition provides support for Eucalyptus, so we decided to go with it. We installed all the nodes and the configuration of everything was automatic and looked like magic (translation: we had no idea what was happening).
Later on, we tried to start a VM, but the process failed giving the following error:
[EUCAERROR ] libvirt: internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm' (code=1)
[EUCAFATAL ] hypervisor failed to start domain
We did some research with the help of Saint Google and we found out that Ubuntu was working by default with KVM as hypervisor. This wouldn't be a problem... except by the little fact that KVM requires hardware support for virtualization and our host nodes' CPUs were born far before hardware support for virtualization existed.
The first solution that came to our minds was to switch KVM for the Xen hypervisor. But we encountered another problem. Ubuntu stopped supporting Xen a while ago and reports from Xen users suggest that it can only run in an unstable state.
First road block.

Why don't you Gastón buy new nodes for our cloud? :]
Give me the money, Lucio, and I'll be happy to buy them. =D
Did you ever figure out a solution for a cheap non VTx hardware for UEC to run on?
I'm in the same boat, looking to launch a proof of concept on UEC but am stuck with no recent hardware.
