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):

I using CentOS 6.2

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

All the required packages have been installed

[user1 at training ~]$ rpm -qa | grep kvm

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 at training ~]$ lsmod | grep kvm

[user1 at training ~]$ modprobe kvm

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

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

Any thoughts?
