Hello,
I was trying to add KVM hypervisor support to qemu. Following the archWiki article on kvm but when i tried to modprobe the corresponding kernel module i got the following error:
sfend# modprobe kvm_amd
modprobe: FATAL: Module kvm_amd not found in directory /lib/modules/6.4.3-arch1-1
- I firstly checked whether amd virtualization was enabled in the bios, and everything seemed in check.
Also the results of → LC_ALL=C lscpu | grep Virtualization :Virtualization: AMD-V
- Checking the kernel support using → zgrep CONFIG_KVM /proc/config.gz, also seem good enough.
CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y
CONFIG_KVM_MMIO=y
CONFIG_KVM_ASYNC_PF=y
CONFIG_KVM_VFIO=y
CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT=y
CONFIG_KVM_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_KVM_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK=y
CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_HARDWARE_ENABLING=y
CONFIG_KVM=m
CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m
CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m
CONFIG_KVM_AMD_SEV=y
CONFIG_KVM_SMM=y
CONFIG_KVM_XEN=y
CONFIG_KVM_EXTERNAL_WRITE_TRACKING=y
Problem:
- lsmod | grep kvm, returns just the following:
kvm 1318912 0
irqbypass 12288 1 kvm
- Trying to modprobe the
kvm_amd
kernel module as already stated returns:
modprobe: FATAL: Module kvm not found in directory /lib/modules/6.4.3-arch1-1
Am I missing something detrimental in the docs ? And also could not found any cloesly related article that is somewhat not half a decade old. Do i need to download and place the module myself ?
I also thought to provide the inxi -Faz
of the system here.
Also i am not sure if this is the correct place for the post, Thanks for any type of help if anyone knows something relevant .
