Can you uninstall qemu, (assuming you're not using it for anything)? KVM is what you want, if you have VT acceleration on your CPU. Your kvm-ok message indicated so. :-Dustin -- kvm qemu slow to start first time after boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426968 You received this bug

I ran the kvm command with the -cpu qemu32 added and there was no difference. I removed qemu and ran kvm - no difference. Here is the out of the 2 date commands, the run of kvm without qemu installed, and cat /proc/cpuinfo. There was about a 5 second delay for me get back to the screen and run

I did also try sudo chmod 777 /dev/kvm before executing the kvm module and a hardwired network connection rather than wireless - no difference in the long wait. While the kvm module is running for about 35 seconds the system monitor is saying sync_buffer or sync_wait in the waiting channel column
