I'm trying to get a pre-built vmware image of Windows running on
ubuntu 7.10. I tried running qemu directly on the vmdk file, but that

context menu to come up when you right-click on the desktop. I tried
converting the vmdk to qcow, qcow2 and raw formats, but I get an error
saying that the drive is not bootable. I looked through the help
pages and there is information about loading the kvm-intel module, but
I'm getting the not supported error message. I looked into updating
the bios as this is usually pointed to as the cause and it appears I'm
at the most recent version.
To be clear, are you running modprobe kvm_intel and it's returning
not supported?
Did you install kvm with apt-get?
yes, I used this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM which says to:
apt-get install kvm qemu
When do you get the not supported error?
Have you ever had KVM running with VMs other than this Windows one?
On another note, if you just want to run a VMware image, have you
thought of
trying VMware Player?
