If you manually install virtualbox, you can unload the kvm module manually and load the virtual box modules. You can't have both loaded at the same time (at least not that I know of), but you can unload one and load the other. I am pretty sure that there was at least talk, from the KVM side, to try be able to be aware of other hypervisors, such as virtualbox and handle things gracefully. I haven't heard if any code was developed or not though. Hope that helps. Thanks, Todd -- Todd Deshane http://todddeshane.net http://runningxen.com
