I am seeing this exact same error on 2.6.28-rc8
In general, the kvm external module won't build on -rc kernels. This is
because the external module checks the kernel version to determine what
features are available, and 2.6.n-rcX will have features from 2.6.n and
2.6.n-1.
When I moved the machine back to 2.6.27.7 the build succeeded.
I ran across this (or a similar) error recently and just compiling on
a different kernel seemed to fix it.
Is there something about compiling on a specific kernel that can cause
a problem?
I did do re-do a ./configure and also checked with make clean with a
couple attempts, but keep
coming back to this error.
Is is something fundamental? compiler problem? user error?
Any suggestions much appreciated.
If you run kvm.git as your kernel, use ./configure --with-patched-kernel
(or, simply don't build the external module).
