If so, please >try again without Xen. Indeed , I am trying it with FC6, where the kernel is Xen kernel. The thing is that with FC6 , the default installation has a Xen kernel; Does anyone know if I can run a non-xen kernel on it / disable somehow the xen kernel and work with ordinary kernel? (sorry, I don't know much about Xen and FC kernels). Or , if I am using Fedora Core distros, must I run this installation under Fedore Core 5 (or lower) so it will not have this crash ? (Fedora Core 5 and lower does not have a Xen kernel by default) Regards, Xu --- Avi Kivity wrote: > Xu Nakajima wrote: > > Hello, > > I have an AMD machine with 3800+ Dual Core > Processor > > > > Athlon(tm) processor (x86_64). > > FC6 (x86_64) is installed on this machine. > > > > This processor DOES support SVM > > (cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags shows a line which > > includes "svm"). > > I had built kvm-7 on that machine. > > I had tried , according to kvm howto , the > following: > > > > > > modprobe kvm-amd > > > > Dec 22 14:10:36 rh kernel: general protection > fault: > > 0000 [1] SMP > > Dec 22 14:10:37 rh kernel: Code: 0f 01 dd 65 8b 0c > 25 > > 2c 00 00 00 48 63 d1 4c 89 f8 48 8b 14 > > > > The processor tried to execute the clgi instruction > and got a general > protection fault instead.
