These two shows libvirt knows about KVM, so the bug must be in
the guest XML config.

I suspect you've not got type='kvm' on the <domain> tag.
Thx for the info, indeed i changed the domain type from qemu to kvm and
the guess started without -no-kvm, so with kvm support.
was
<domain type='qemu' id='5'>
is now
<domain type='kvm' id='5'>
I don't quite understand why it wasn't set to kvm in the first place, i
did remember using some kvm option on virt-install command line when
creating the guest.
thx again i believe it fixed my problem i'll try to see if if can also
apply to virt-manager which was doing the same thing
