Re: strange error loading kvm module on latest FC6 kernel

[Greg M Lee <Greg.Lee-CM8Ft84HMKulVyrhU4qvOw@public.gmane.org>]

Hi
  thanks for that. It fixed that problem, but now I get:

# modprobe kvm-intel
FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel
(/lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6/extra/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not
supported

and dmesg has:
kvm: disabled by bios

I have a Compaq nw8440 which I ordered with the thought of installing
Xen (unfortunately I found Xen 3.0 too "clunky"). I went into ROM BIOS
and couldn't find any related option, the nearest being:  Core Duo:
enabled/disabled.  So I guess that I am out of luck :-(

Late news - found a bios update that claims that it adds an option to
enable VT. will try tomorrow and report back.
