2.1 - Installing

Compiled into kernels on Ubuntu, 7.10.


Need packages

 

sudo apt-get install kvm qemu

Install the kernel module

    For AMD processors
 

   sudo modprobe kvm-amd

    For Intel processors
 

   sudo modprobe kvm-intel

Some machines have the VM extension of the CPU turned off in bios.  Linux should tell you this in a system message (available via dmesg) when you try and load the kernel module.
