Mounting KVM image

Hi,
>> Another option is guestfish: http://libguestfs.org/
I have to migrate the image to a remote system because I don't have
all the tools there to run this. Do you know if guestfish requires a
kvm kernel and processor, or can it be done with an older processor?
When I try and mount the image, I see this:
# guestfish -a systmp-img.img -m /dev/hda1 /bin/ls
open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory
Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support
libguestfs: error: mount_options: mount_options_stub: /dev/hda1: No
such file or directory
I suspect it's because the processor isn't kvm-capable, but it allowed
me to install and upgrade all the necessary packages...

This might also be a good idea. How would I go about this?
Thanks,
Alex
