I'm installing KVM on my Debian system (fully updated) following this walkthrough. After installing the Xen kernel and rebooting, I attempt to install kvm and get the following error:
But when I run
the above code in the normal kernel (the one that installed with the OS), I get the proper CPU extensions.
Everything I can find says my CPU supports KVM and obviously Debian does as well, but once I boot into a Xen kernel, I can't install KVM. Anybody know what the deal is?
