 From http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/config-reference/content/kvm.html

This message indicates that the KVM kernel modules were not loaded.

If you cannot start VMs after installation without rebooting, the 
permissions might not be set correctly. This can happen if you load the 
KVM module before you install nova-compute. To check whether the group 
is set to kvm, run:

# ls -l /dev/kvm

If it is not set to kvm, run:

# udevadm trigger


Fedora 18 is EOL and the OpenStack Folsom release is pretty ancient 
given its furious pace of development so why not try something more 
recent (with a better chance of Community support) like Fedora 20, RHEL7 
or CentOS 7 and then install the OpenStack Icehouse release using the 
Quickstart at http://openstack.redhat.com ?

Have fun with OpenStack!

HTH,
Patrick
