Do you install the built modules and then do a modprobe, or how do you
load them? Also try via

    insmod /home/ap/dev/kvm/kvm-kmod/x86/kvm.ko

I don't know. Something must be broken with your Ubuntu installation.

Yes, kvm.ko is just a library to kvm-intel/amd.ko. Those modules drive
init and cleanup.
