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
Does your POWER7 machine actually support hardware virtualization?
Unfortunately our latest kernels have disabled Alex's PR KVM because
it wasn't compatible with HV KVM. I've seen some patches floating
around (not upstream AFAIK) to fix it so both can be configured
together.
kcmp(0x3, 0x1ffffff68330, 0, 0x3, 0) = -1 EIO (Input/output
error)
This could be a whole range of problems. Probably best to dive into
the kernel code and find out what the real error is :-(
