Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F17 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start guest w/ -no-kvm 2.in qemu monitor (qemu)info kvm 3. Actual results: kvm is enabled Expected results: kvm should disable Additional info: CLI: sudo /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -no-kvm -M pc-0.15 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -cpu host -name win8-32 -uuid 6d8c1833-edd4-5c19-5aaa-e6486d14790a -nodefconfig -nodefaults -monitor stdio -rtc base=localtime -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/win8-32.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1 -drive file=/var/www/html/samba/Windows8-ReleasePreview-32bit-English.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:b6:c4:c8,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc :1 -vga std -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 char device redirected to /dev/pts/8 QEMU 1.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) info kvm kvm support: enabled (qemu)
> CLI: > sudo /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -no-kvm -M pc-0.15 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp You have passed both '-no-kvm' *and* -enable-kvm. The latter is taking priority. If your CLI was correct, it'd work as expected: $ qemu-kvm -monitor stdio QEMU 1.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) info kvm kvm support: enabled $ qemu-kvm -monitor stdio -no-kvm QEMU 1.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) info kvm kvm support: disabled
