Re: fedora 12 KVM virtulization question

I've had the same problem with KVM running Windows and gave up. I looked into it and could not find a good explanation nor a workaround. Other Linux's inside KVM work fine and Windows inside VmWare or VirtualBox on a Linux host also runs fine.

Roberto,

Is the feature present in your CPU? (/proc/cpuinfo)
YES

Is it not disabled in the BIOS? (/var/log/messages)
Its enabled in BIOS

Do you have the right module loaded? (lsmod)
kvm shows up in the list

Are you sure you should not run qemu-kvm instead of qemu?
I tried qemu-kvm with same results.

Regards.

Are you sure you are using the hardware virtualization feature?
In particular:

Is the feature present in your CPU? (/proc/cpuinfo)
Is it not disabled in the BIOS? (/var/log/messages)
Do you have the right module loaded? (lsmod)
Are you sure you should not run qemu-kvm instead of qemu?

Best regards.
