[CentOS] Error connecting to KVM on CentOS 6.2

2012-05-12 Thread Earl Ramirez
Hello List Mates,

I don't know if here is the right place for this question if it's not I
will appreciate it if you can point me to the right mailing list.

I have successfully installed KVM on my x86_64 laptop, however I am getting
the following error when I try to connect QEMU from the Virtual Machine
Manager

Error polling connection 'qemu:///system': internal error Cannot find
suitable emulator for x86_64

I using CentOS 6.2

[user1@trining ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

Below are the processor that I am using, however I do not see any svm or
vmx flags and there is no option to change anything in the BIOS for the
processor. Does this mean I need to replace my current laptop to get KVM to
work?

I am running the x86-64 version of CentOS 6.2 with the latest updates

[user1@training ~]$ uname -a

All the required packages have been installed

libvirt-cim-0.5.14-2.el6.x86_64
libvirt-qmf-0.3.0-7.el6_2.x86_64

None of the modules are installed, which I believe is related to the svm
and vmx missing from the processor flags

[user1@training ~]$ lsmod | grep kvm

[user1@training ~]$ modprobe kvm

[user1@training ~]$ lsmod | grep kvm
kvm   305988  0
[user1@training ~]$

I have been googling all night everything that I have tried did not
resolved.

Any thoughts?

Yes, KVM requires virtualization support by the CPU as it does only full
virtualization, no paravirtualization (not to be confused with
paravirtualized driver support through virtio).

Your CPU is not VT-x capable (you should see vmx flag in 
/proc/cpuinfo if it is).

Sometimes the CPU is compatible (ie, has a vmx or svm flag), but the
Virtualization must be turned on in the computer's BIOS.

(Different machines have it in different places in the menu, this is
just an example)

Thanks Guys,

The processor does not support VT-x technology, I have purchased a new
laptop that support such technology as I am about to embark on the journey
to RHCSA.

Thanks again all
