It does appear this could be a BIOS issue. The kernel is basically
performing a rdmsr, like you did from the command line and getting a
return value that KVM is disabled. Here's a snippet of that code:
static int is_disabled(void)
{
u64 vm_cr;
rdmsrl(MSR_VM_CR, vm_cr);
if (vm_cr & (1 << SVM_VM_CR_SVM_DISABLE))
return 1;
return 0;
}
The return of 1 in the above code causes the message you see when trying
to load the module:
if (ops->disabled_by_bios()) {
printk(KERN_ERR "kvm: disabled by bios\n");
r = -EOPNOTSUPP;
goto out;
}
One way to confirm this is a BIOS issue would be to try Windows, and see if it
also has this same issue. Is that a possibility for you?
