  • RHEL6 KVM Error when trying to load Kernel Module kvm_intel

    Posted on

    I've installed KVM 0.9.0 on RHEL6, however, when I try to add kvm_intel module on the fly, I get the following:

    [root@ApacheFTP ~]# modprobe kvm ; modprobe kvm_intel
    FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported
    [root@ApacheFTP ~]# 
    

    Here is a listing of the cpu for this VM:


    [root@ApacheFTP ~]# lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 2 On-line CPU(s) list: 0,1 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 2 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 58 Stepping: 9 CPU MHz: 2394.574 BogoMIPS: 4789.14 Hypervisor vendor: KVM Virtualization type: full L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 256K L3 cache: 6144K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0,1 [root@ApacheFTP ~]#

    For the hypervisor, I'm using VirtualBox 5.0 and I have hardware virtualization checked for Enable VT-x/AMD-V, so I'm not sure why isn't not loading this module.

    I am able to run KVM with no issue at this time.
