Still a problem in Lucid. I blacklisted the kvm_intel module by editing
the blacklist.conf file:
nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

If you want to use VirtualBox as your default VT solution and if you don't want
to uninstall kvm, try to not load the kvm modules at startup by adding a new
file in /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-blacklist, containing these directives:
blacklist kvm

Yes, this used to work with the bum solution. Afaik it worked because
qemu fired up kvm on start, I don't think actual parallel use of qemu
and VBox was available.
The fact that the bum solution doesn't work anymore in Lucid is quite
inconvenient indeed.

It would seem that this has to do with incompatibility of bum with upstart.

Hmm, some looking around has made me think this is an error in the qemu-kvm
packaging.
Removing qemu-kvm should remove the qemu-kvm upstart job (which actually loads
the module).
Qemu can run without kvm, but then it isn't using hardware virtualization. This
could be a solution for people only
I see this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/qemu-kvm

I think that on install, in a debconf box, virtualbox should say that
KVM is the default virtualization service, but that virtualbox kernel
module can't start if the kvm service is running. Would you like to
disable it?
Alternatively, virtualbox could disable the kvm service / unload the kvm
For users who still might want to use qemu-kvm, you can use:
sudo update-rc.d -f qemu-kvm remove
To remove the system startup links that insert the module at boot. Now
if you want to use kvm, then run:
sudo /etc/init.d/qemu-kvm start
To insert the module and enable kvm.
This bug suggests
KVM is the default virtualization system for Ubuntu 9.10:
The default virtualization technology supported in Ubuntu is KVM, a
technology that takes advantage of virtualization extensions built into
Intel and AMD hardware. For hardware without virtualization extensions
Xen and Qemu are popular
So why is qemu and/or KVM installed by default in Karmic? What changed,
or is this a mistake?

I'm running Ubuntu Karmic, and even when I had already uninstalled (as
in removed completely) qemu-kvm and kvm, I still had to untick Full
virtualization on i386 and amd64 hardware - kvm in Boot Manager to stop
it from starting up... So, removed completely doesn't really mean
remove completely...
I'm with Simon in comment #8. Some of us actually use qemu, which
requires qemu-kvm. There was no conflict with VirtualBox in Jaunty.
Why the conflict now?

I think if KVM is not installed, the module should not be loaded. Or at least,
they should not be loaded by default. Those who want to use KVM will load them.
I have too the problem with Jaunty and VirtualBox (either the OSE one - v2.1.4
- in the Ubuntu repositories or the Sun deb one - v2.2.2).
Only problem with this workaround is what if you are actually using KVM?
