I have searched a lot and got a number of solutions and possible problems but none worked. 1) Have tried with Ubuntu 20 also, but same error. 2) VT-x not enabled. It is enabled, `lscpu` shows Virtualization: VT-x Hypervisor vendor: KVM Flags: .. vmx .. 3) Tried with `-cpu qemu64`. Did not work 4) used `qemu-system-i386` instead of `qemu-system-x86_64`. But that fails with a different error This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. 5) I have asked the same question online, but no answers. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61864520/qemu-installating-ubuntu-through-iso-gets-stuck-shows-svm-cpu-bit-warning 6) Have tried without the -nographics option, same story. 7) I did find out that the "SVM" CPU bit corresponds to "AMD Secure Virtual Machine", which confused me since my CPU is Haswell. The host system on which I am running this command is an ubuntu. I have tried this on 2 separate ubuntu machines, one running on virtualbox as a VM with host OS windows 10. The other also running on a virtualized hypervisor (not sure which one), as a VM. Can someone point out what the problem is, and what is the solution. -- Regards -Haris
