Re: kvm-87

Have you tried kernel module as suggested in the following thread?

Doesnot it mean kvm-87.tar.gz

Doesnot it mean kvm-87.tar.gz contain all of things ?
kvm-86.tar.gz does contain all we need and kvm-86 works fine.

Re: kernel module

You're right in that the kernel module comes as part of the kvm-xx.tar.gz. However, kvm-kmod is developed independently and the latest kvm-kmod probably has a fix for your problem. Can you try and let us know if it works?

It needs some time for me to understand the relation between kvm-kmod-2.6.30.1.tar and kvm-87.tar.gz.

there is no README file in kvm-kmod-2.6.30.1 so i guess to build it as below:
./configure
make
sudo make install

right ? I will test it later.

The kvm-xx tarball is like a snapshot of the qemu-kvm + kvm-kmod development although you can install and upgrade each part separately. In this case, it's just a matter of updating your kvm-kmod piece.

You're correct in that it's just a configure;make;make install to install the latest kvm-kmod release.

kvm-kmod-2.6.30.1 works

kvm-kmod-2.6.30.1 works now!
1. install kvm-87
2. install kvm-kmod-2.6.30.1

It works fine however i will still use kvm-86 untill kvm-87 to be fixed because i donot want 2 steps to install KVM.

Regards!
