With all the changes in F11, I'm trying to set up a Windows XP virtual machine with kvm/qemu. But not joy:
virt-install ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options
but /proc/cpuinfo shows svm (this is AMD).
What am I missing?
is the kvm-amd module loaded?
lsmod | grep kvm should show it. if not try to load it by doing modprobe kvm-amd
Yes it is:
lsmod | grep kvm kvm_amd 30940 3 kvm 153112 1 kvm_amd
The problem was that not enough of the qemu stack was installed. I had qemu-common, qemu-x86, qemu-system-x86 installed by yum. I'd assumed they pull in whatever was necessary. Silly me. Installed all qemu, now I get the new machine box.
hang on ... so which qemu-related package was missing? i'm thinking qemu-user but it would be nice to clarify that.
