thanks, 

i had seen some bootmessage about kvm being active and thought that i still have seen it after disabling all kvm config options - but apparently it was my fault and i mixed things up.

indeed, KVM is OFF, even with HAVE_KVM=y.

so, sorry for the noise.

at least, it appears that this config option is confusing other people , too - see http://communities.vmware.com/message/1498691

regards
roland
