> With CentOS 6 and KVM, i'm kinda lost! With KVM you do not have a second kernel but modules installed and my check running: lsmod | grep kvm If you get nothing back you do not have KVM installed, otherwise you should have something like: kvm_intel 132873 0 kvm 438094 1 kvm_intel If you have an AMD processor the module will be named differently.

Installed CentOS 6.3 x86_64 fresh from DVD (tried with 6.4, same result). Everything goes fine until i install Virtualization* yum groups. Virtualization is enabled in BIOS. Server boots, CentOS loads and i have even a login prompt. If i'm fast enough to enter login name and password, shell works for about 10 sec. Then, it seems to hang. Pressing CTRL-C seems to work as i see it on screen (CTRL-C text). I'm used to Xen in CentOS 5 where we can choose a non-Xen kernel at boot time. With CentOS 6 and KVM, i'm kinda lost! I Googled a lot and didn't find anything to disable KVM / select a a non-KVM kernel a boot up time. The server has been repaired but i'm not sure if there is still other problems that prevent KVM to work. I know that they installed the last BIOS version. I have other identical servers that works well with KVM. I tried to disable all i saw for virtualization support in BIOS, result is the same. I did memtest86 tests without problem. Here are the specs: Supermicro 6026T-3RF (mainboard X8DT3-S) BIOS 03/17/12 15:50:21 Ver 2.1 Xeon E5520 Kingston 12 Gig RAM (Triple Channel) LSI 9240-8i What should i do to debug this? Any pointers, URL, etc would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all. Guy Boisvert, ing.
