Description (last modified by )
I have problems to start an vm because vbox 2.0.0 tells me there is kvm enabled but thats not true. Its definitly an module:
develop:/home/crissi# modinfo kvm filename: /lib/modules/2.6.25-2-686/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko license: GPL author: Qumranet depends: vermagic: 2.6.25-2-686 SMP mod_unload 686
and its not loaded:
develop:/home/crissi# lsmod | grep kvm develop:/home/crissi#
Happens on Debian Lenny running 2.6.25-2-686 distribution kernel.
Additional info: I had installed 1.6.4 which was running fine. Then I upgraded to 1.6.6 and it runs fine too. Then I upgraded to 2.0.0 (using the VirtualBox-1.6.6-Linux_x86.run binary) and it claims about kvm. I went back to 1.6.6 (fixed the xml too) and it also claims about kvm. I dont had rebooted from working vbox 1.6.4.

Make sure there are no duplicate vbox drivers around too. Maybe the upgrade went wrong or something.

AFAIR you wrote somewhere that indeed kvm was involved, correct?
VBox.log?
Somebody is using VT-x or AMD-V, so that's why the warning is there. On Linux we just assume it's KVM. It doesn't give fake warnings.
