ok thanks
Regarding this: I can't find the kmod version requirements for every KVM
version.
What happens if the kernel module version I'm running is too old for the
KVM I'm trying to run? Will it fail at startup giving an error, or I
won't be warned and then weird things will happen sometime during runtime?
If it's the latter, can I at least be sure that always installing the
latest kvm-kmod will not do harm to any KVM, even if the KVM is older?
Thank you
