kvm 76 - open /dev/kvm: No such device or address

kvm 76 - open /dev/kvm: No such device or address

[Matias Aguirre]

Hi all,

Im using 2.6.26.5 kernel and slackware-current distribution. I was 
compiled the latest 76 version of kvm and when i run kvm i return this 
error:

open /dev/kvm: No such device or address
Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support

The module is already loaded:

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
kvm_intel              33984  0
kvm                   116156  1 kvm_intel
nvidia               6886800  26

And my CPU have VM support.

# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge 
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm

constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2

And the file permission:

# dir /dev/kvm
crw-rwxr-- 1 root kvm 250, 0 2008-10-07 18:22 /dev/kvm


Any help?

Thanks

Also, you might want to make sure that the user you're using to run KVM 
has been added to the kvm group and make sure that your X-session has 
been restarted since this change, or it will not have taken effect.

Strange. /dev/kvm should be a character device has 10 major
and 232 minor numbers. Deleting /dev/kvm and doing
'mknod /dev/kvm c 10 232' would help you.

Its working. Thanks very much guys.

Re: kvm 76 - open /dev/kvm: No such device or address

[Michael Malone]

It's unlikely that the CPU is broken, but intel has vmx turned off by 
default, though if that were off, then kvm-intel shouldn't have loaded.  
Check your (main hardware) bios settings and try again.
