from the kvm package description: <quote> KVM requires your system to support hardware virtualization, provided by AMD's SVM capability or Intel's VT. To find out if your processor has the necessary support, do as follows: . * Make sure you run Linux 2.6.16 or newer for AMD processors, or Linux 2.6.15 for Intel processors. Older Linux versions do not report the virtualization capabilities. . * Run this command in a shell: egrep '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo . If it prints anything, the processor provides hardware virtualization support and is suitable for use with KVM. </quote> But do check your BIOS setup if you think your CPU should support hardware virtualization. Most have some option to disable it, and it may be disabled by default. You'll probably have to check the Intel or AMD web sites to find out if your CPU is supposed to have such support.
