Post by Eminent2021 » 2019/05/08 12:48:42

Howdy,
When I run the following command kvm not shows up:

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep kvm
In other words, In the output of that command noting will be displayed in terminal. Why?

Well presumably nothing you have run requires it so it hasn't been loaded. If you have attempted to load it and it errored and unloaded then the details will be in /var/log/messages.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

It's loaded automatically when you try to use any functionality that would use it. For example, starting the libvirtd service should do it.
