Installed with nokvm, can I reinstate it later?

[fretts]

Hi all, I was forced to install Sabayon with the nokvm option, I now want to dabble with virtualisation, but am having issues. I am not sure if they are related.

Can I install kvm support after I installed Sabayon with nokvm?

Thanks

Not sure but it is in the kernel so it should be active on your pc right now unless blacklisted .
Not sure how this works but should be able to active it later if not already running.

Code: Select all

localhost ~ # modprobe kvm
FATAL: Error inserting kvm (/lib/modules/2.6.22-sabayon/extra/kvm.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
localhost ~ #
[ 1006.352685] kvm: Unknown symbol set_64bit

Thanks for that.

modprobe kvm returned nothing when I ran it, does that imply it required installing.

Hi

I moved this topic into the "Virtual Managers" forum. You might get more luck there and it should be there really

All the best

If it gave no errors then likely it loaded.
To check if it did:
lsmod
This should list it and or other modules that is loaded as well.
