Hi
updated to latest FC6 kernel yesterday ie 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6
compiled kvm-15 from sourceforge this morning
chose the unpatched kernel instructions [ was this the right choice ?]
configure, make, make install all went fine (some warnings here and
there)
modprobe kvm-intel gave a bunch of errors in dmesg the first of which
was: SELinux: initialized (dev kvmfs, type kvmfs), not configured for
labeling
Ouch. Anybody here know how to deal with that?
so I disabled SELinux
modprobe kvm-intel still gave a bunch of errors in dmesg:
kvm_intel: Unknown symbol gfn_to_memslot
Try with the attached patch. Unfortunately you also have to reboot.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to
panic.

KVM: Fix bogus failure in kvm.ko module initialization
A bogus 'return r' can cause an otherwise successful module load to fail.
This both denies users the use of kvm, and it also denies them the use of
their machine, as it leaves a filesystem registered with its callbacks
pointing into now-freed module memory.
Fix by returning a zero like a good module.
Thanks to Richard Lucassen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (?) for reporting
the problem and for providing access to a machine which exhibited it.
