Where Are The CentOS 7.1 1503 KVM Repos Please?
Hi all.
I have just installed CentOS 7.1 from the DVD image:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.CentOS.org/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503-01.iso
and I cannot find the KVM modules.
Are they in a repo that is not in the base distribution please?
Kind Regards,
Keith

Keith,
What KVM “modules”?
“yum search kvm” will return some interesting bits, give it a try.
Thanks Nux for your reply.
I have tried doing the search and all these packages are installed:
======================================= N/S matched: kvm =======================================
libvirt-daemon-kvm.x86_64 : Server side daemon & driver required to run KVM guests qemu-kvm-tools.x86_64 : KVM debugging and diagnostics tools qemu-kvm.x86_64 : QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator qemu-kvm-common.x86_64 : QEMU common files needed by all QEMU targets
Name and summary matches only, use “search all” for everything.

Yet when I go to create a new VM with VMM, I get the following error message:
Warning: KVM is not available. This may mean the KVM package is not installed, or the KVM kernel modules are not loaded. Your virtual machines may perform poorly.
So it
Keith,
Try modprobe modprobe kvm modprobe kvm_intel

Try this:
yum install qemu-kvm qemu-img virt-manager libvirt libvirt-python python-virtinst libvirt-client
(all one line)
Also, what does this command output:
uname -r
Should be something like this:
[jhughes@T520 ~]$ uname -r
3.10.0-229.7.2.el7.x86_64
Look here for help:

Thanks Marcos.
I tried modprobe kvm and that loaded that kernel module.
I got an error trying to load the kvm_intel module though.
Kind Regards,
Keith
Thanks Johnny.
I tried that and all the packages were installed apart from python-virtinst which yum could not locate.
Kind Regards,
Keith
Yes, it
That looks good help for me Johnny.
I will take a look at that sometime next week.

Keith,
What error?
What’s your processor? if it’s AMD, you need modprobe kvm_amd instead of kvm_intel.

Hi Marcos.
The processor is an intel centrino in an acer aspire 5735 laptop.

Thanks for all the replies.
Looking at the specs for the processor it does not seem to have the vmx features in /proc/cpuinfo:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-2-Duo-T6400-Notebook-Processor.35100.0.html
and the output from grep -E
Hello,
IMO, it’s better to check for this on the official Intel site:
http://ark.intel.com/products/40479/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T6400-2M-Cache-2_00-GHz-800-MHz-FSB
This CPU does not support hardware-assisted virtualization.

Keith,
You should use the user root to load module kvm_intel.
