Georgy, Not all systems have the necessary hardware support to run KVM. It is straight forward to check however (see http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Processor_support). If anything is returned when you execute the following command, the x86 processor has support:
% egrep 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo Note that your processor may have hardware support but the capability may be turned off in the BIOS and will have to re-enable the capability to be able to use it.
