Description of problem: You can't run kvm.. [root@oinik kvm]# qemu-kvm Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory No accelerator found! [root@oinik kvm]# ... open("/dev/kvm", O_RDWR|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "Could not access KVM kernel modu"..., 62Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory .... The kvm kernel module appears to be loaded, but the dev file isn't there. i tried insmod and modprobe with no errors. and i dont see the kvm device anywhere in /sys either. This is happening with the 3.0.0-1.fc16.x86_64 and rc4 kernel. This is an intel sandy bridge2 processor with efi. But i don't think that is the issue.
