I had problems getting kvm-intel to work on a Toshiba Portege M400, as
the BIOS clearly stated virtualization was enabled, but KVM stated it
was not. I got errors like:

FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel
(/lib/modules/2.6.22.10/extra/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported
kvm: disabled by bios

Or the computer froze except for a blinking Caps Lock.

The solution seems to be upgrading the BIOS to ver. 3.60:

wget http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/pm400v36.exe
unzip pm400v36.exe
cdrecord pm400v36.iso
Reboot
Press 'F12'
Select CDROM as boot media
Wait until BIOS is flashed
Turn off
Remove battery
Wait 40 sec
Turn on
Press 'ESC'
Enable Virtualization Technology
Boot

Now the module loads.

/Ole
