Yes, KVM doesn't try to be too smart. If you have svm/vt, it runs. If you don't, it falls back to tcg (qemu's normal/slow mode). The kvm-amd module will load as long as the bios and the CPU both support and enable svm. > > Thanks > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in > the body of a message to [email protected] > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
