KVM not recognized by virt-manager?

[Dannyje]

So I have been trying to set up a Virtual Machine using qemu and kvm. I have compiled kvm support into my current Kernel like this:

First, please check that /proc/config.gz agrees with the output you showed above. You said you checked that /boot is mounted, but checking that your running kernel has those features is more thorough, since you both need boot mounted and you need to boot into the copied kernel. On the assumption that will find nothing, next you should check dmesg for any diagnostics printed by the KVM subsystem during startup. A quick read of its source suggests that it logs on most if not all error paths that would let it avoid registering the device node. What is the output of uname -a ; zgrep KVM /proc/config.gz ; echo ; dmesg -T | grep -i kvm?

Note that modprobe is not useful here, since you built these features into the kernel, not as modules. It does not hurt anything, but it does not help, either.
