[PVE-User] WG: KVM_AMD

[Holger Ernst]

Hi Dean,

I once named my lvm volume 'kvm' which resulted in a device called /dev/kvm and prevented the real kvm from starting.
Just a guess...

Regards, Holger

ksm-control-daemon: 1.1-1



but I am still unable to start a kvm VM. I checked the boot process and noticed the kvm_amd module not being loaded. I googled this and found it is normally when virtualization is disabled in bios as is checked by the absence of vmx/svm in cpuinfo. None of this seems to be correct  , as you can see svm is in cpuinfo

egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo

modprobe -vv kvm_amd
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-11-pve/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.ko
FATAL: Error inserting kvm_amd (/lib/modules/2.6.32-11-pve/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.ko): Operation not supported

What else can I check , the machine has been powered off , cable unplugged so its not a rebooting issue.

Thanks
