KVM on RHEL5.5

KVM on RHEL5.5

[TianJing]

 Hi all,

 i am trying to install kvm on RHEL5.5, the server is power leader
S5000VSA, the CPU is intel E5335, and i check that it support vm.
 when i run the commamd:  modprobe kvm_intel
 i got the following error message:FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel
(/lib/modules/2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64/extra/kvm-intel.ko): Operation
not supported
 and also i find in the /var/log/dmesg: kvm: disables by bios.
 so i turn on the VT in the bios,and reboot the server.
 but again i got the some error,but nothing in the /var/log/dmesg.

 any ideas?

 thanks,

 tianjing

After enabling VT in the bios you need to power cycle the machine. A simple reboot doesn't help.
