'cat /proc/cpuinfo' shows 'vmx' flags. I checked and enabled the VT support in the BIOS. 'modprobe kvm' runs fine. But still 'modprobe kvm_intel' gives 'operation not supported' error. (I issued both of them after 'su') After looking into the /var/log/syslog, file I found that the message is 'kvm: disabled by bios'. I am puzzled, please help me out. What's going wrong ? Thanks and Regards, Sukanto Ghosh
