One way (neither the quickest nor the easiest) to test would be to attempt installing and running kvm. But that would require the requisite kernel modules, which could be checked in your .config file: CONFIG_HAVE_KVM=y CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP=y CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION=y CONFIG_KVM=m CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m # CONFIG_KVM_AMD is not set # CONFIG_KVM_TRACE is not set Naturally you'd want to disable CONFIG_KVM_INTEL and enable CONFIG_KVM_AMD.
