Odd. When you do:
kvm -monitor stdio -vnc :1
and then on the terminal type 'info kvm', does it also say 'kvm support:
enabled'? Could you give the result of:
ls -l /dev/kvm
grep kvm /etc/group
grep libvirt /etc/group
grep qemu /etc/group
and the contenets of /var/log/libvirt/qemu/X.log where X is the name of
a vm you've been starting with libvirt?
** Summary changed:
- Ubuntu KVM error with guest memory >4gb ram
