KVM Not available.
EndLordMC opened this issue · 4 comments
Linux/VM noob here. I'm trying to follow this guide to pass through my AMD card. However, after running usermod -aG kvm,input,libvirt username VM Manager tells me that KVM Isn't available. It was working just fine before i started messing around with this guide. I'm not %100 sure what the cause is.
I would post a log or something but i have no idea what to do in this situation, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
That's odd. Which GPU driver have you installed? Also, could you please check if the kvm module is loaded using lsmod | grep kvm.
Also, you can probably check dmesg or journalctl -f to see if any related error message is logged..
My GPU is an AMD R7 240, with oland radeon drivers.
lsmod | grep kvm outputs this:
kvm 1105920 0
irqbypass 16384 1 kvm
No idea if that's good or bad.
dmesg reports that KVM is disabled by my bios, which would make sense, since i recently performed a bios update, in preparation for this guide. I do have SR-IOV enabled in my bios, which i assume is a good thing. I went through all my bios settings but didn't find anything. AMD CPU btw.
Here's more system info:

Edit: Posted old system info by mistake, link is now correct.
Your system info shows that your CPU is missing the flag required for KVM.. The CPU should either have vmx or svm flag present for KVM..
SR-IOV is different than that what is required for KVM.. There should be something else related to virtualization in your BIOS settings.. It might be named VT-d, VT-x or AMD-SVM. Check again and make sure if any of them is present and enable it...
As it turns out, i had SVM disabled, my bad lol. I should really look more closely next time.
Looks like my vm is working fine now. Thank you for your help!
