I have VirtualBox up and running fine with a 32-bit XP image, but when I tried to configure a 64-bit linux machine VirtualBox barfs when you try to start it with:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine linux_test. AMD-V is being used by another hypervisor. (VERR_SVM_IN_USE). VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_SVM_IN_USE). Searching for this found a match, but their solution of rmmod kvm_amd kvm I had already tried with modprobe -r and it doesn't fix it anyway. I've tried with both 3.10.11 and 3.11.2 from fedora. I am unable to see any kvm that is already running, and - more to the point - what causes kvm_amd to be loaded in the first place, since rmmod happily unloads what must be an unused module. Playing around a bit, VirtualBox says that it turns on the AMD-V option automatically if a 64-bit VM is selected. Btw, the .vdi was converted from the raw - a bootable usb stick with a full blown fedora OS on it. I can't see that having any relevance as the error comes up before any boot process has happened. Suggestions please - I can do a kernel recompile, but what I have to disable isn't clear. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
