Hi,
i've installed lastest kvm-86 and libvirt-0.6.4 tarballs on my debian stable and have a problem using virsh
No matter what i do in the guest domain config or with /usr/bin/ symlinks, libvirt keeps using the -no-kvm option when starting guests when my cpu has kvm-amd support, modules are loaded and /dev/kvm exists, and starting the guests thru command line works fine, and faster.
Can you provide your actual guest XML config
and tried adding "/usr/bin/qemu-kvm" symlink
<capabilities>
<host> <cpu> <arch>x86_64</arch> </cpu> <migration_features> <live/> <uri_transports> <uri_transport>tcp</uri_transport> </uri_transports> </migration_features> </host>
<guest> <os_type>hvm</os_type> <arch name='i686'> <wordsize>32</wordsize> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu</emulator> <machine>pc</machine> <machine>isapc</machine> <domain type='qemu'> </domain> <domain type='kvm'> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator> </domain> </arch> <features> <pae/> <nonpae/> <acpi default='on' toggle='yes'/> <apic default='on' toggle='no'/> </features> </guest>
<guest> <os_type>hvm</os_type> <arch name='x86_64'> <wordsize>64</wordsize> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <machine>pc</machine> <machine>isapc</machine> <domain type='qemu'> </domain> <domain type='kvm'> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator> </domain> </arch> <features> <acpi default='on' toggle='yes'/> <apic default='on' toggle='no'/> </features> </guest>
</capabilities>
These two shows libvirt knows about KVM, so the bug must be in the guest XML config.
So far i had no luck getting virsh to use kvm, it always adds the -no-kvm option, i'm not sure how to specify the domain type in the guest config, using the <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator> won't help.
I suspect you've not got type='kvm' on the <domain> tag.
