is the kvm-amd module loaded?
lsmod | grep kvm should show it.
if not try to load it by doing modprobe kvm-amd
Yes it is:
lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_amd 30940 3
kvm 153112 1 kvm_amd
The problem was that not enough of the qemu stack was installed. I had
qemu-common, qemu-x86, qemu-system-x86 installed by yum. I'd assumed
they pull in whatever was necessary. Silly me. Installed all qemu, now I
get the new machine box.
But where do I choose paravirtual? I don't see any choice in the new
machine dialog.
