Hi,

I'm running debian, installed kvm-18 from source, it installed fine...

I have an intel s5000pal motherboard with dual core xeon 64bit, 
virtualization enabled in my bios.

question 1 : is it normal i dont have this file : qemu-system-x86_64 , i 
only have the qemu file in my /bin

kvm and kvm_intel load fine with modprobe without errors or info in dmesg.

toranaga:/usr/src/kvm-18# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
kvm_intel              19852  0
kvm                    55128  1 kvm_intel

I did the following :

./qemu-img create -f qcow2 /virtual/test/vtest.img 5G
works out fine...

./qemu . -hda /virtual/test/vtest.img -cdrom /virtual/win_corp.iso -boot 
d -m 512 -no-acpi

gives the following error : could not open /dev/kvm ...

in /proc/misc I found kvm as well :

  62 kvm

but I dont have the /dev/kvm  ... udev is installed though

can someone push me in the right direction please ?  :)

thx !
