[fedora-virt] Loading the KVM module (Fedora 19 on ppc64, POWER7)
Hello,
I'm trying to run libvirtd and KVM on a POWER7 machine. For some reason, virt-manager
on a client says there is no KVM support. :-( The KVM module installed on the system
cannot be loaded:
# modprobe kvm
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm': Input/output error
There are no new messages in dmesg. Presumably, the file
/lib/modules/3.10.11-200.fc19.ppc64p7/kernel/arch/powerpc/kvm/kvm.ko is readable; at least
sha1sum can read it. This is how the error appears in strace (from open()ing the module to
an unsuccessful kcmp()):
open("/lib/modules/3.10.11-200.fc19.ppc64p7/kernel/arch/powerpc/kvm/kvm.ko",
O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
read(3, "\177ELF\2\2", 6) = 6
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0744, st_size=273976, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 273976, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x1fffffad0000
kcmp(0x3, 0x1ffffff68330, 0, 0x3, 0) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
The OS is a fresh Fedora 19 installation with kernel.ppc64p7 3.10.11-200.fc19.
Perhaps this could be a known issue or a glitch related to SELinux, but I have no idea
what to try next. Could someone give me a hint, please?
Cheers!
Andrej
