[Bug 452323] Re: kvm disabled in bios (was: Unable to start EUC instances - no supported architecture for os type 'hvm')

[Joseph Salisbury]

I re-ran all of the tests using the latest in karmic-proposed.  All
tests passed:

$ dpkg -l | grep qemu
ii  qemu-kvm                          0.11.0-0ubuntu6.3                 Full 

virtualization on i386 and amd64 hardwa


Test 1: VT Enabled in BIOS(On a machine that supports VT):
$ kvm-ok
INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used


Test 2a: (run this on a system that does not support VT)
joe at jts-ubuntu:/etc/apt$ kvm-ok
INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
KVM acceleration can NOT be used


Test 2b: (sudo modprobe -r kvm, and then re-run kvm-ok and see that /dev/kvm is gone)
$ kvm-ok
INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist
HINT: sudo modprobe kvm
KVM acceleration can NOT be used


Test 2c: (reboot into BIOS, disable VT, and re-run kvm-ok)
$ kvm-ok
INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
INFO: KVM is disabled by your BIOS
HINT: Enter your BIOS setup and enable Virtualization Technology (VT)
KVM acceleration can NOT be used


Thanks,

Joe
