[CentOS] Error connecting to KVM on CentOS 6.2

Hello List Mates,

I don't know if here is the right place for this question if it's not I will appreciate it if you can point me to the right mailing list.

I have successfully installed KVM on my x86_64 laptop, however I am getting the following error when I try to connect "QEMU" from the Virtual Machine Manager

Error polling connection 'qemu:///system': internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 440, in _tick conn.tick() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1414, in tick newNets, self.nets) = self._update_nets() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1277, in _update_nets lookup_func, build_class) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1209, in _poll_helper if not check_support(): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 501, in is_network_capable virtinst.support.SUPPORT_CONN_NETWORK) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/support.py", line 574, in check_conn_support return _check_support(conn, feature, conn) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/support.py", line 443, in _check_support actual_drv_ver = _hv_ver(conn, uri) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/support.py", line 376, in _hv_ver ret = cmd(*args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2823, in getVersion if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virConnectGetVersion() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64

I using CentOS 6.2

[user1@trining ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

Below are the processor that I am using, however I do not see any svm or vmx flags and there is no option to change anything in the BIOS for the processor. Does this mean I need to replace my current laptop to get KVM to work?

I am running the x86-64 version of CentOS 6.2 with the latest updates

[user1@training ~]$ uname -a Linux training 2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64 $1 SMP Tue Apr 17 23:56:34 BST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

All the required packages have been installed

[user1@training ~]$ rpm -qa | grep kvm qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.209.el6_2.4.x86_64 qemu-kvm-tools-0.12.1.2-2.209.el6_2.4.x86_64 [user1@training ~]$ rpm -qa | grep virt virt-v2v-0.8.3-5.el6.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.9.4-23.el6_2.8.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.4-23.el6_2.8.x86_64 virt-who-0.3-3.el6.noarch virt-manager-0.9.0-7.el6.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.600.0-5.el6.noarch libvirt-snmp-0.0.2-3.el6.x86_64 virt-viewer-0.4.1-7.el6.x86_64 virt-top-1.0.4-3.11.el6.x86_64 virt-what-1.11-1.1.el6.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.9.4-23.el6_2.8.x86_64 libvirt-java-0.4.7-1.el6.noarch libvirt-cim-0.5.14-2.el6.x86_64 libvirt-qmf-0.3.0-7.el6_2.x86_64

None of the modules are installed, which I believe is related to the svm and vmx missing from the processor flags

[user1@training ~]$ lsmod | grep kvm

[user1@training ~]$ modprobe kvm

[user1@training ~]$ lsmod | grep kvm kvm 305988 0 [user1@training ~]$

I have been googling all night everything that I have tried did not resolved.

Any thoughts?
