Well, you can use QEMU and it will be extremely slow. I think the qemu-kvm
binary will fallback to software QEMU emulation if KVM is not supported.
OK, here I'm finding some problems with KVM. I have a AMD Athlon X2 64
but kvm module doesn't load:
# grep -c svm /proc/cpuinfo
2
# modprobe kvm-amd
FATAL: Error inserting kvm_amd
(/lib/modules/2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.ko):
Operation not supported
Now, why is that? I have support for kvm-amd but the module fails to come up.
Any ideas?
