Even though the module is named kvm-amd.ko , it shows a different name in lsmod: lsmod|grep kvm kvm_amd 31744 0 kvm 172536 1 kvm_amd
in lsmod it is shown with underscore: kvm_amd,
That's no problem, everything is fine here.
So I noticed, thank you
But what are the permissions of /dev/kvm? Does it work as root? If yes, add yourself to the kvm group (in /etc/group) and login again. It should work now,
I did as you suggested, and added myself to the kvm-group. I tried again, and launched the command qemu-kvm -M pc -m 1G -cdrom /dev/sr0 -boot d /mnt/a14/winxp.img After giving this command I got a screen displayed which you can see at http://www.xs4all.nl/~michkloo/ssqemu6.html I'll explain the messages below: After giving the qemu-kvm- command I got a screen, looking like a bootscreen, giving messages like QEMU BIOS version 1 ata0 master + description ata1 master cd + description Press F12 for boot menu I didn't press F12, and it continued Booting from CD-ROM therebelow in Dutch "Druk op een toets als u van CD wilt starten", which translates into Push a key if you want to boot from CD I didn't push any key, and it continued on its own initiative, ending with the errormessage "NTLDR is missinh Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart Did I execute the same qemu-kvm- command, and did I press F12 after it suggested me to do so. That took me to a screen which you can see at http://www.xs4all.nl/~michkloo/ssqemu7.html This screenimmage says (in Dutch) Kan het bestand \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe niet in het geheugen laden De Foutcode is 7 Setup kan niet doorgaan Druk op een toets om het installatieprogramma af te sluiten Which translates to Cannot load file \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe into memory Errorcode 7 Setup cannot continue Push any key to halt the installation programme This is my result of the attempt to install qemu-kvm. I hope someone has come across the same results I arrived at. If you recognise any mistakes I have made, I'd greatly appreciate your mentioning them to me.
