All,

first of all I have AMD E-350D, you have AMD E-350.
I don't know what the "D" stands for, but we don't have the same identical CPU.

I give you the feedback from the kernel developers and from the MainBoard vendor.
I had already tried the above command (rdmsr....). It says "1" ... DISABLED.
Another thing - important - VirtualBox behavior is misleading: it lets you check the flag to enable the AMD-V extension, but looking at logs, it seems that the extension is not being loaded.

Therefore, there are two possiblities.
Kernel developers say: it may be a bug in the BIOS.
The vendor (GygaByte) says: it's a problem with Linux kernel.

BTW, I can understand that everybody says that it's someone else fault, but I can't understand that GigaByte asks me to install windows and test it over windows.
Right now I am stuck as I have a spare partition starting after 1.7GB and windows doesn't want to install on such partition.
